We don't yet know exactly how or why stargazing appears to boost wellbeing. However, an academic psychologist at the University of Derby in the UK says it could be a combination of the mindfulness people experience while stargazing and the emotional response some feel when looking to the heavens. Basically, the opportunity to be in the moment and experience awe when gazing skywards. It has been observed that the higher the connection that someone had to the natural environment at night, they felt happier and had a more positive outlook and a more positive wellbeing. What are your thoughts? How can stargazing and looking into the night sky boost mental health and wellbeing?
