Ruralite: Bringing the Universe One Step Closer  (2016-10-12) ⬅︎
Writer Tillie Vuksich wrote an article for Ruralite magazine titled Bringing the Universe One Step Closer after participating in a field trip to Starry Hill. Here are some excerpts...

Today, young astronomers are encour­aged by visits to Starry Hill Observatory & Planetarium. The nonprofit partners with schools to bring stargazing to a new generation....

...The couple brings such excitement and knowledge to their program that it’s no wonder they create new stargazers with every tour.... [They] encourage everyone to take a moment to look up at the night sky. It really only requires your eyes, patience, and a spot to view the sky away from bright lights. Once you can identify a star or a star constellation, then no matter where you are in the world you can feel at home with those familiar lights shining down on you.
