Since the start of the 2018/9 school year, the number of requests we have received for reservations by teachers has been greater than ever. Lots of new schools are planning visits. If you are a school teacher who would like to bring your students to Starry Hill, we encourage you to contact us ASAP. ➜

New for the 2018 school year, Starry Hill had a contest to give away a brand new Orion Starblast 6 telescope. We received dozens of letters from children in our area who wrote to tell us why they wanted to win the telescope. After lots of deliberations, a winner was selected.... ➜

A limited number of 2018 Star Party tickets have been distributed to teachers who brought groups to Starry Hill this year to give to select students. If your child has been given a ticket, here are the details. ➜

It's almost time to say goodby to the 2017/8 school year. It has been the best so far -- more groups, more visitors and more great times. And we say hello to our 2018 Summer Season with lots of star parties planned. ➜

Not only is Starry Hill a place for kids to come to connect with our universe, it is also a place that, as much as possible, is run by kids. That's why we have the Star Guides program, now in its seventh year. We have a truly awesome line-up of nine Star Guides for our 2018 season! ➜

It has been said that a total solar eclipse is the most spectacular celestial event that one can witness. We traveled to Oregon for the August 21st eclipse to find out for ourselves... ➜

We will be experiencing an extraordinary triple event on the morning of January 31st: a blue moon, a supermoon, and a lunar eclipse 'blood moon' all in one. ➜

Starry Hill was featured on the Washington's National Park Fund website for its involvement with public outreach at Mt Rainier National Park. Thank you Washington's National Park Fund for helping to spread the word about stargazing at our national parks. ➜
