The sky is an open-access learning tool that is always readily available to you if you just look up. Getting started on this new hobby is as easy as a head tilt. In order to help get you started, Inverse has put together a basic beginner’s guide to stargazing with the help of amateur astronomers that will turn you into a modern version of Galileo Galilie.

With a lockdown in place in different areas across the world to help stop the spread of COVID-19, now is a great opportunity to gaze at the sky and uncover the wonders of the larger cosmos. The skies above us offer a great resource for learning a new skill, expanding one’s knowledge and combating thoughts of existential dread.
