About Us

We are Astronomy enthusiasts in Pagosa Springs, Colorado who are continuously learning about the night sky and enjoy sharing this knowledge with our community through public outreach and private events.

Our Mission

To share the beauty of the night sky and educate others on the wonders of the Universe. We set up telescopes on sidewalks and street corners around town for Public Viewings throughout the year so you can view the sun, moon, planets, and celestial events. Sidewalk Astronomy is a form of entertainment and public education using telescopes.

Educational Experiences

We hope you leave our events having learned more about our place in the Universe and a little more about the galaxy we call home – the Milky Way.

Through education, we might just inspire a young astronaut or astronomer. Who knows what the next generation will discover about the stars?

Dark Sky Advocates

Light Pollution is a side effect of industrial civilization. We work to minimize its effects in our community through outreach and education on:

Downward-facing, shielded outdoor fixtures

Light trespass and how to be a good neighbor

Bulbs with appropriate brightness and warm color
