This article will be about the best places to see the Milky Way Galaxy from. Since we live in a Universe that is vast and full of mysteries, it is no wonder that our curious minds want to know what it looks like. But because it is physically impossible, we tend to satisfy ourselves by just looking at some of it.

Our planet Earth is in the Milky Way Galaxy so whenever you look at the night sky, you are viewing our galaxy. The increase in pollution makes it harder and difficult for us to see the Milky Way properly, so this article will help you figure out what the world’s best places to see the Milky Way from are and how to find the elusive Milky Way.

 

How to See the Milky Way

 

This galaxy was named Milky Way because of how it looks like; a white strip that curves across the sky, gleaming faintly. But in reality, it is not as bright as it seems! Most of the time when we try to look at it, we are unable to see is clearly because of it being far So, we compiled a few tips for us all to have a glimpse of the Milky Way more clearly:

• • Make sure to find a clear spot of the night sky. There has to be no bit of moonlight or you might not get the best view.

• • Get as far away from the city lights and any light sources. Find any wild, deserted area such as the countryside. You could go to the middle of the ocean if you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.

• • You do not need any binoculars, telescopes or any other optical instrument. You can see the Milky Way galaxy from Earth with the naked eye.

• • The atmospheric conditions should be most excellent. A hazy sky would not only block the view completely but it would also not be sharp view.

• • Your eyesight may take some time to adjust to the darkness, but after a few minutes, you would be good to go! You would have to be careful though as it could become quite sensitive to a low light level.

• • If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, winter evenings or late summer nights are the optimal times to view the Milky Way.

During the summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the Milky Way looks more vivid. You could even see the Great Rift on a dark, clear night. In the Southern Hemisphere, however, you could distinguish the small irregular Megallanic Clouds galaxies that has set its orbit around our Milky Way galaxy.

 

Best Places to View the Milky Way Galaxy

 

Do you ever look up at the sky and wonder why you can’t see the stars? So have I!

The world gets more and more populated each day and so does the lights on the streets. Our beautiful Milky Way galaxy is more than 100,000 light-years in diameter including 200-400 billion stars and many planets. It is one of the most remarkable sights in our sky yet with all the light pollution, we struggle to see it.

Many people are working to secure our environment and make sure we do not lose the sight of the multitude of stars gleaming in the skies. So, to see the dark sky and our Milky Way in all its grandeur, we have to do more than just take a ride outside the city! These are some of the places to see the Milky Way galaxy from in the world:

Unfortunately, since the world keeps losing their dark skies, there are not many places in the world you can see the Milky Way galaxy from. But the places that still exist with the darkest skies allow a view of the Milky Way that’s beautiful and extraordinary.

On September 28th in 2014, a NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman captured the view of Milky Way from space:

 

It shows how the Milky Way is glowing in the sky, bathing the world in an orange light. It is truly one of most incredible sights in our skies and you should try to visit at least, one of the places to see the Milky Way galaxy in all its glory!

Have you planned a trip to Greece, or to the snow covered tops of Switzerland? You know, makeup essentials are one thing you must have under all circumstances……..because you never know when and where you might need it!

Since we want you to feel comfortable on your trip without the extra load of baggage, here’s a list that we have prepared. This will help determine products that are a necessary in your beauty travel bag while rendering all the other that you THINK, you would need!

Let’s begin!

1. The tan-protector, sunblock:

Be it at any beach or a snow-filled location, a sunblock is must be carried in your beauty travel bag because unnecessary tanning is a bummer when it comes to traveling. The sunblock not only helps prevent the tan but also avoids the risk of getting the UV rays absorbed into your skin.

For the perfect sunscreen, you need to check where you are traveling and what activities will you be sporting into. For a city tour, a sunblock with an SPF within 30-35 works well enough whereas, for deserts, beaches, and alike places, you would have to notch the SPF up to a 100. For more information regarding what sunblock would suit best, check this out.

2. An all-rounder, BB Cream:

Well, BB creams are found to be very popular in the market recently and why not, they are a complete package, after all!

From primer, foundation, sunscreen to a moisturizer, this product works in place of all! If packing light is the motive then this is the first thing you should throw in your beauty travel bag!

It gives your skin the perfect light coverage when looking to go for a natural yet refreshing look while the SPF present in it will keep the skin from getting unnecessarily tanned.

Smash box’s Camera Ready BB Cream serves the purpose amazingly well!

3. For formal looks, a foundation:

If you have anything formal to attend, we would suggest you pack a foundation otherwise don’t carry the extra luggage! If you are looking to give your face a full, heavy coverage than this beauty travel product is a must to take.

P.S. Go for the foundation which you usually use and know that it suits you best.Try not to experiment when traveling.

4. A rosy tint for the cheeks, Blush:

Travelling can sometimes dull you face and rid you of color. It may be due to tiredness or the difference of weather. But whatever the case, it is nothing a nice rose colored or a peachy blush can’t fix.

A blush adds a pop of color to your face which gives your look a fresher, brighter appearance.

When packing, one thing I couldn’t seem to leave behind is my 8 blush palette. But then I found Milani’s Baked blushes which are individually packed shades, beautiful to the core and save me from the hassle of carrying the 8 blush palette.

Also, they cost less than $10 each, so even if it does break during travel, it doesn’t cost me a fortune, unlike my 8 blush palette!

5. Instant look enhancer, Mascara:

Well, this travel cosmetic is a must have for sure! Be it a spontaneous date or a stroll in the city look, mascara is definitely a must-have. It makes the eyes instantly pop which is a life-saver if you can’t sleep well without your bed. The mascara helps take away the sleep deprived look from your face, exchanging it with a fresher, wide-eyed look.

Oh, go for nothing but a waterproof formula because you never know how the weather can be; rain or humidity might mess up your usual formula! And the last thing you want on your travel trip are mascara streams running down your, otherwise flawless, face.

Unsure as to what water-proof formula works best? This guide will help you out!

And guess what? Your waterproof mascara also doubles as a smudge free liquid liner, saving up all the more space! Now isn’t that just cool!

6. Fight the dryness or get your face clean within seconds, Vaseline:

So, makeup or not, Vaseline is a must-carry in your beauty travel bag. In the case of dry chapped lips and skin, this is what is going to suck the dryness away!

If the weather is anything but dry, Vaseline can always come in handy when wiping off makeup at the end of the day. Especially that waterproof mascara which has proven to be a little clingy. But nothing beats the power of Vaseline. So pop it in the bag, right away!

7. How can we forget the lipstick?

For me, nothing says fresh and ready to rock look, better than bright colored lippies! So, for me, it is surely a must-have. But, if you aren’t into bold colors, don’t forget to keep light colored lippies and a lightly tinted lip balm to give your face a pop of freshness to look chic and stylish all day!

Because no one wants to look dull and utterly tired in all those pictures, right?

Bene Tint works wonders as for both lips as well as cheeks and it is a soft rosy shade, unlike what the packaging showcases, and seems intact for good 12 hours. Perfect for when you want to sport the natural look!

P.S. here are a few essential tips to keep in mind when packing for travel:

1. Make sure to get your hands on travel size products because they are easy to squeeze in when space is an issue.
2. Also keep in mind, makeup products such as compressed powder and blushes are vulnerable and might break easily, if not packed with utmost care.
3. Pack products that last longer than 8 hours so you don’t have to go through the hassle of re-touching, every now and then!
4. Last but not the least, ENJOY even if you don’t look your best. Because possibility is that you might not even see them again! 😉

Moving to a new city is always exciting – New people to meet, introduction to a different culture, fabulous places to visit, and opportunities to taste different foods.

But, there is an important thing that we lack in a new city– ‘Friends’, right?

Anyone who has moved to a new town knows, making friends in a new city where you just have shifted, is always difficult. Strange people, less understanding of norms of that new place and, most importantly, no one knows you in the whole town; these are some factors which make an individual’s adjustment a bit hard.

I can feel your anxiety too…..

Feeling like a stranger can immobilize your socialization. Without any doubt, it is hard logistically; you do not have your favorite coffee shop or regular gatherings to strike up discussions with the known faces.

Moreover, forwarding your mail, finding a good restaurant, and visiting a grocery store is not as easy as they were in the previous town. In the new city, you have numerous things that require your attention other than your friendship and social life.

This article will suggest smart ways that will help you to make new friends easily and quickly.

 

Secrets for Making Friends in a New City

 

1. Talk to Neighbors

Neighborhood is the best place to make new friends when you move to a new town. Good relationship with neighbors will help a lot in settling to a new place.

Be polite, introduce yourself and your family to the neighbors, and ask some questions: where is the nearest grocery store? Which is the best restaurant? Where is the public library?

Such questions will help you get the attention of your neighbors. You can further ask them about public transport routes, and other routine things that will let them know that you are new in town.

 

2. Be Proactive at Your Work Place

To make a bunch of new friends in a new city, be proactive at your office. Since, at work, you interact with many of your associates therefore, it is the best chance to make new friends.

Be helpful and respect your colleagues. Everyone can surely like you, right?

All firms offer extra-curricular activities – Sports, tours and weekend get-togethers. Such events are the best opportunities to enhance mutual understanding with your coworkers.

Is your firm not planning such events? No problem!

Nothing is better than sharing a cup of coffee with your companions! A person with friends at office is likely to be more productive, and happy, at work!

 

3. Join a Workout Class

Join a gym, yoga class or some indoor sports studio to interact with people of the new city.

Most importantly, pick a time slot that you can stick to. The more consistent you are, more chances you have to make new friends.

Surely, you are thinking, what is the logic behind this? Right?

Joining these places will help you to spend time with the like-minded participants. Naturally, people are more comfortable to talk with a person whom they see regularly.

 

4. Buy from Same Places

The best tip for making friends in a new city can also be by purchasing goods from the same grocery store, having coffee from same coffee shop, or by visiting the same barber.

Everyone pays attention and respect to their customers. Your often visits will improve your social circle and you will not be a stranger for the local vendors.

 

5. Use Social Media

Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ etc. are some of the best ways to stay connected with your besties. Use these internet utilities to stay away from boredom and loneliness.

The people, whom you interact in your routine, add them to your social media friends list and stay connected with them, anytime and anywhere!

But, AVOID excessive use of social media!

Instead, visit pubs, concerts, and other public places to mingle with people of the new city. Such activities are handy when trying to understand culture and traditions of the natives.

 

6. Eat at a Public Place

If you are new in a city, it is not recommended to always eat in your apartment. DO NOT sit in corner of your home and dine-in alone.

Visit restaurants and try to explore the delish cuisines of that place!

Pick a table which is somewhere around the center of the restaurant. Also, prefer a table which is for more than one person.

Try to keep a book or newspaper with you while you are eating at a public place. It gives others a reason to talk to you if they are interested in the book’s topic or any current affair.

 

7. SOME BONUS TIPS

• In the beginning, DO NOT turn down any invitation from your coworkers or neighbors, even if it is something you don’t like to do.
• Be the first one to say HELLO, and start a conversation.
• NEVER interrupt others if they are busy in their work.
• Visit parks, historic places, and museums to get local knowledge.
• In early days, use LOCAL TRANSPORT instead of your own RIDE.
