Best of Philly 2012 Place to Stargaze, Expert Pick

“For views of the rising sun, moon and planets, Belmont Plateau in Fairmount Park. For views of the planets at dusk: the confluence of Ridge Avenue and Hermit and Righter streets in Manayunk, looking downhill to the west. For bright stars, the Jersey Pine Barrens or the back way to Cape May, along routes 55 and 347.” —Chosen by Derrick Pitts, chief astronomer at the Franklin Institute
