Is this the year you finally see the Perseid meteor shower? Will you be traveling to see the big solar eclipse? Can you catch a glimpse at one of the comets streaking through the sky?

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we dive into some of the coolest astronomical events coming in 2024 – adjust your stargazing calendars accordingly.

And while many of these events can be seen in your own backyard, they’re always better viewed under clear, dark skies. That could mean a trip to some of Oregon’s best stargazing spots, like Steens Mountain and the Prineville Reservoir. After all, beautiful landscapes and cosmic events pair nicely.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

Two comets are expected to be visible this year, one in spring and another in fall.
A total solar eclipse will cross America, but the Pacific Northwest won’t get much of a show.
It’s a tough year for meteor showers, but there are still a few good options.
The supermoon lunar eclipse should be a good show.
