Light pollution is heavy in New York City, so the chances of you seeing a star is very unlikely, unless you got everyone in the city to turn off their lights for an hour, so that we could see the stars. Because the lights are close to us, they get into our eyes, which prevents us from seeing stars when there is light around us; it s the same for why you can t see stars during the day. If you would really like to see stars, you re going to have to buck up and leave your Queens home and go upstate somewhere -- somewhere that doesn t have heavy light pollution. Go to the Adirondacks; that s a hotspot for star-gazing. It s unlikely that you ll ever see a star in the sky when you re in New York City, so if you want to see stars, you re going to have to do what you don t want to and leave Queens -- and ultimately the city -- to do so.All the best ?
No, it s not possible. Take a vacation to upstate New York sometime, or somewhere that s at least 20 miles away from a city.It will be worth it. Seeing the stars changes you in a small, but important, way. There are lots of other good reasons to travel, too. There s nothing wrong with living your whole life in Queens, if you want to, but visiting other places is fascinating, and you ll enjoy it a lot.
Not in NYC due to light pollution. You will need to travel some 50 miles away from the city in order to see stars at night.Good luck
It s hard because of all the ambient light. If you d go a little farther than Queens, Jones Beach would be a great place to look at stars. In fact, on some winter nights they have people there with telescopes to point out planets and other interesting things in the sky. Maybe Rockaway Beach would work? I don t know.Edit: I live on Long Island, about 40 miles from midtown Manhattan. You can see plenty of stars right from my front lawn, and it s not like I m in the country or have a big piece of property. Of course, you can see more if you re really away from a city or town, but you wouldn t have to go all that far.
