Star Gazing
Summertime Star Gazing at Carlsbad Caverns National Park
Carlsbad Caverns National Park is secluded and away from city lights, and it's a great place to see the stars. Because of this, the national park runs star gazing events throughout the summer, from March until the beginning of October every year. What will you learn at these events? It all depends! Every star gazing adventure that takes place in the park is a little different.
Star gazing takes place as soon as complete darkness falls. If you're going to be around the park for a while, why not hit up the bat flying event at the mouth of the cavern at sunset? From there, you can head to the west parking lot where the star gazing adventure will start off. You don't have to pay to participate in this event. Simply bring a flashlight to make sure you can see where you're going. Don't forget to dress for the weather, too! Even when the days are still warm, the nights get cold here out by the cavern! You may want to dress in layers just to be sure that you aren't too cold or too hot. How are you supposed to enjoy looking at the sky when you can't get physically comfortable?
The start gazing events at Carlsbad Caverns are really pretty simple. You'll be led by one of the park's knowledgeable rangers, and you'll learn all sorts of interesting things. The event will, of course, focus on the night sky. You may learn a lot about astrology that you've never known before. At the very least, you can enjoy spectacular views of the icy, glittering stars that you simply can't get in the city – or even anywhere near it!
Other topics of interest might include nocturnal creatures that live in the park as well as local folklore about the stars and the nighttime creatures. You're pretty likely to see some of those bats that come out of the cave at sunset. They'll swoops silently through the night, eating up the mosquitoes before the mosquitoes eat you!
No matter whether you're traveling to Carlsbad Caverns National Park on your own or with your family, these star gazing events are certainly something you don't want to miss. While you can enjoy the stars around the caverns at any time, catching one of these events will help you gain more knowledge and really understand what you're seeing.

Would you comment on a star gazing poem?
An omen last night
in the dark, clear sky,
bright star was cupped
in a crescent moon.
Strange feeling it gave
as I gazed, pondering.
After hours had passed
I returned to look.
The moon must have
tipped, star spilled.
It floated now near
the horizon.
Wasn't God watching
over me at all, but new age
technology of man.
Ah, Steve, THAT explains it, indeed! I stand corrected.
Wrong wrong wrong Ma...It was not technological man..It was my daughter going back to her heavenly bed..
She still watches over me I believe ..Always will too.
Thanks Ma
