Exploring New England with Ryan Zipp

Capturing The Night Sky In Newport & Sunflower Fields In Bloom

Ryan Zipp Season 1 Episode 22

In this episode of "Exploring New England" host Ryan Zipp recounts a recent visit to the coastal city of Newport, RI with the goal of capturing the night sky from Brenton Point State Park along the ocean. Dark skies allowed for the core of the Milky Way to be visible and the perfect place to witness peak action of the annual Perseid meteor shower. The stunning Northern Lights even made a surprise appearance for the second time in the last 3 months all the way down to southern New England. Ryan also highlights a handful of sunflower fields currently in bloom or about to be in the coming weeks.
