Is there any place in India where you can see the Chu Galaxy with the naked eye?

The Milky Way can be seen with naked eyes everywhere in India, where the sky is clear and there is no light pollution. This rules out the possibility of subways and many small cities, if you are not an expert when you see the Milky Way. But we still have many places (even outside the subway) to see the Milky Way. For example, I could see clearly within 100 miles of Bangalore and Chennai, and I didn't even take the initiative to look for it at that time. Dry months are better because when the air is dry, the sky is clear.

The idea that you have to go to Liecheng or Ladakh to see the Milky Way is absurd. Of course, watching the Milky Way from the Himalayas or anywhere close to nature is a wonderful experience. I strongly recommend you to see it, but don't make it sound like it's the only way. Of course, the clearer and darker the sky, the more spectacular the Milky Way will be.

For inexperienced people, the real problem is probably not that the Milky Way is invisible, but that you may not know if you see it. If you don't know what to look for, it's easy to confuse it with bright clouds. I suspect that many people in the countryside have seen the Milky Way. Even though they may not recognize it, they may ignore it as a cloud in the night sky.

It's very close, so you can find it yourself. Compared with the naked eye, this photo is a little too bright, overexposed and the color contrast is too bright. But it is still very close to the real thing, so you can keep it in mind when you look for it. In particular, there is a wide white stripe in the middle and a dark cloud stripe in the middle. These are the arms of galaxies. When I think about how far away those stars are from us, I still feel a chill in my back so long ago.

The Milky Way is one of the most interesting naked-eye sights in the night sky, which can be seen in many places on earth. Most of the photos of the Milky Way taken from India were taken in the Himalayas. The ideal conditions for observing this cosmic wonder are:

No clouds, no moonlight, no city lights, no headlights. Basically you can stay away from any source of light pollution.

The ideal time to watch it is in late summer or winter night. The foggy sky can't stop it at all, and neither can the moisture. This is not so sharp, but it is still clearly visible.

No matter where you are, most of the galaxy can be seen at any time. This is normal, because the Milky Way is a belt around the sky, just like the equator or the ecliptic. Like them, they also exist in some bands, so it would be better to be familiar with these constellations. It's just that you have to stay away from the city lights.
