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...
The stars have captivated human beings since the beginning of time. They have inspired poetry, art, music and
helped explorers chart their courses. 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.
