Astronomy


Stellar Views

Southern Arizona has some of the clearest skies in the U.S.—about 350 nights of viewing a year. Tour some of the world’s most-respected observatories and enjoy the same “good seeing” as the pros. Learn why Southern Arizona has earned the title “Astronomy Capital of the World.”

Tucson's University of Arizona is the first university to lead a mission to Mars. Visit the Phoenix Mars Mission website for more information.
