About this Experience
What you'll do:
We offer year-round stargazing tours at your convenience. Let us come to your private residence or bring you to a dark sky location within Grand Teton National Park. Leave the busyness of Jackson behind and listen to coyotes howl as we show you all that the extraordinary night skies of Jackson Hole have to offer! The best show on Earth is not on Earth! You’ll see the details of the planets, learn about the process of star formation, and have the light from galaxies millions of light-years away fall upon your eyes. You’ll also get individualized attention from our knowledgeable and enthusiastic Stargazing Leaders, allowing you to finally get answers to all your burning questions about the Cosmos.
Why we love it for your party:
A telescope with a big mirror for your stargazing program (That means you’ll get to have the light from galaxies millions of light-years away actually hit your eye!)
Dark skies with low light pollution (Jackson Hole, the valley where the town of Jackson resides, is mostly protected, undeveloped public land. Combine that with our high elevation and arid climate, and you have a great recipe for seeing thousands of stars on moonless nights, the arms of the Milky Way Galaxy.)
Stargazing Leaders are knowledgeable and enthusiastic astronomy educators (That means they not only have a huge amount of knowledge of the night sky, but are also very good at explaining the complicated details about what you are looking at)
About this experience partner:
Wyoming Stargazing is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Jackson, Wyoming. We excel at making the often complex concepts of astronomy accessible to everyone. The proceeds from our private programs allow us to offer inexpensive programming to public schools, to offer free public programs throughout our community, and to do dark night sky conservation work.
Additional information:
Night Sky Photo Package: Add the Night Sky Photo Package as an incredible memento to your program, and we’ll use one of our special DSLR cameras to take a series of photographs of your group with the night sky, our telescopes, and the Milky Way (if the conditions allow) in the background.
You'll get a digital folder of high-resolution “best of the best” night shots that we’ve taken over the last 10 years and at least 4 good shots of you and your group around the telescope with the Tetons, the Milky Way (if possible), and the starry night sky in the background in both landscape and portrait orientation.
