What's in the sky

The next great nights to be somewhere dark.

3 Mar 2026Total lunar eclipse

Blood Moon over the Pacific

A full total lunar eclipse — the Moon turns deep copper for over an hour. Best from Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

Asia · Pacific
12 Aug 2026Total solar eclipse

Totality across the north Atlantic

The first total solar eclipse over mainland Europe since 1999 — the Moon's shadow sweeps Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain.

Iceland · Spain
13 Dec 2026Geminid meteor shower

The year's best meteor shower peaks

Up to 120 meteors an hour under a dark sky. We camp in a reserve with no moon and no city glow.

Atacama · Ladakh
Sep–MarAurora season

Northern lights at solar maximum

We're in a strong solar cycle — the best aurora odds in a decade across Iceland, Norway and Finnish Lapland.

Arctic Circle
How a Zenith trip works

We chase the weather so you don't miss the sky.

Built around one event

Every expedition is timed to a new moon, an eclipse path or an aurora forecast — then padded with backup nights for cloud.

Led by an astronomer

A working astronomer travels with the group — naming what you're seeing, running the telescopes, and chasing clear horizons.

Comfort by day, dark by night

Real beds and good food while the sun's up; full astro kit, heated viewing and zero light pollution once it sets.

Your astronomers

The people pointing at the sky.

Dr. Arjun Rao

Astrophysicist · 11 eclipse expeditions

Chased totality on four continents. Arjun can find the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye and explain why it matters in one sentence.

Elena Sørensen

Aurora forecaster · Tromsø

Reads solar-wind data like a sailor reads the sea. When Elena says 'get your coat', the sky is about to catch fire.

Mariana Cruz

Astrophotographer · Atacama

She'll set up your camera, dial in the exposure, and hand you back a photo of the Milky Way you took yourself.

"Totality lasted two minutes. I've thought about it every day since. Zenith got us to the one gap in the clouds — that's the whole job, and they nailed it."
— Daniel F. · Total Solar Eclipse expedition
