Sky Safari is Arizona's premier Sky Tour Company and will be guiding this weeks Soiree guests through a tour of our Universe!

Specializing in Corporate and Private Events Sky Safari will guide you and your group on a tour of our universe.

Journey from the earth to the moon. Discover lunar mountains, valleys, canyons, craters and highlands in breathtaking detail. See massive Jupiter, 500 million miles distant, come alive through the eyepiece of their powerful telescopes. Colorful belts, bands, swirls, the Great Red Spot, and the four Galilean moons are easily visible.

At a billion miles, the details of the Saturnian ring system, perhaps the most beautiful object in the heavens, can be seen using the telescopes of Sky Safari.

At distances in the 100's of trillions of miles, the closest stars to the Earth can be viewed. Multiple star systems dazzle the imagination. Gaseous nebulae, the stellar nurseries, spawn 100's or 1000' of stars and you will be able to look back millions of ears in time to see large spiral galaxies, with their billions of stars slowly orbiting their galactic nucleus.

Star Party Astronomers for hire...

Sky Safari specializes in performing star parties on location, in the city or country around central Arizona and the greater Phoenix area. They supply the astronomers, telescopes and a friendly atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the wonders of the night sky together.

Observing conditions and the types of objects available vary throughout the year, and change due to local conditions. However, if the sky is clear there is always something fascinating to see in the heavens.

It is with great pleasure that, Paul Johnson and James Ashley, of Sky Safari will be my Special Guest this week.

Please plan on joining us to socialize and meet new friends! BBB
