South Florida Stars at Night

When the darkness came after the sun disappeared completely over the horizon, the stars began to dot the sky. The darker it got – the more stars became present. You could still see the light pollution on the horizon from Miami and Broward Country.
Location: Harold A Campbell Public Use Area

Star Trails in South Florida

We arrived about 20 minutes before sunset at Harold A Campbell Public Use Area. It is in Palm Beach County – out west. West of 27 by a 15 minute drive across a paved two lane highway. There are no street lights,  no road markings, but there is the Public Use Area where people can launch their small boats on the water and park. When the sun goes down, it gets dark – the only lights you see are from people and their cars. We saw fireflies around us, and on a night like this with clear skies and no moon – people setting up telescopes for viewing the night skies. Red lights are used to avoid issues with photography and you can see the light pollution on the horizons from the cities.

Jupiter Lighthouse

It was a cool winter morning as the sun began to lighten the skies. The northern wind calmed the bay waters creating streaks across the surface. The lighthouse was still working until the light was bright enough, then it turned off.
