Your Ultimate Guide to Stargazing in Maine

In Maine, where the night skies remain some of the darkest in the eastern United States, John Meader’s Northern Stars Planetarium travels the midcoast and central regions, promoting stargazing and education about the cosmos. However, Maine’s pristine views are increasingly threatened by light pollution, primarily from municipal infrastructure. Advocates from organizations like DarkSky International emphasize the importance of implementing smart lighting solutions to minimize environmental impact. Notably, two areas in Maine—Appalachian Mountain Club’s lands around the 100 Mile Wilderness and Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument—have received Dark Sky designation, and initiatives are underway to create more such communities. With a growing appreciation for astro-tourism and the cosmic wonders, Mainers are encouraged to engage with the night sky and participate in stargazing events while being mindful of preserving the natural darkness essential for celestial observation.
