Stargazing in the Heart of Denver: AstroTours.org Partners with Civic Center Conservancy

AstroTours.org recently teamed up with the Civic Center Conservancy to bring their STARGAZE program to the heart of Denver. Led by passionate astronomers Luke Huxley and Coda Lucas, this unique event proves that you don’t have to leave the city lights behind to experience the magic of the night sky. Using high-powered telescopes, binoculars, and lasers, guests were able to explore the Moon’s craters, discover the planets’ captivating details (including Saturn’s rings!), and learn how to identify constellations like Orion and Cassiopeia—all right in Civic Center Park.

In an interview with the Civic Center Conservancy, Luke and Coda shared their early memories of stargazing, their love for educating others about the vastness of the universe, and why Denver’s downtown location still provides memorable views. They also revealed just how awe-inspiring it can be to witness star clusters like the Pleiades, and how easy it is to “wrap your head” around the sheer scale of our cosmos when you look up.

Whether you’re a lifelong astronomy buff or someone who’s simply curious about the sky, STARGAZE delivers an unforgettable, family-friendly experience.
