Chicago at night is a dazzling sight — but the skyline and streetlamps that light up our evenings also make it harder to see the natural wonders of the night sky. Still, Chicago Astronomer founder Joe Guzman, better known as Astro Joe, says there’s plenty to see — you just need to know how to look.
As part of our Last Word series, the Chicago Park District’s resident astronomer gives “La Ultima Palabra” on why he says everyone should get out and look up.
Guzman and his organization Chicago Astronomer host free skygazing events all over the city to connect people to the cosmos. You can follow him on Facebook and Twitter for the latest events.
