With the mountains, clear skies, and dry weather, Tucson is the perfect environment to observe the universe. Some of the most advanced astronomical research is being conducted at the various peaks surrounding the city.

Because of this, the people of Tucson have a burning curiosity to learn more about what these state-of-the-art observatories are viewing. However, some of these observatories are not easily accessible for everyone. There are also times where someone would love to have an observing night at their birthday party, reunion, or wedding but don’t have a telescope.

This is where we come in! Stars on Wheels offers a unique observing experience: we as astronomers bring our own telescopes and expertise straight to you. You work with us to find the perfect location, duration, and observing list for your special night. 

Our mission is to educate, entertain, and inspire people of all ages and backgrounds through astronomy. Whether you’re an amateur astronomer or completely new to the subject, we welcome you to contact us!
