Tetherow Resort Launches its New Summer Programming with a Focus on Celestial Events
Resort guests are invited to join local astronomer Grant Tandy on a journey into Central Oregon’s vast Dark Skies with close-up views of the closest star, the sun
As interest in astronomy and celestial events grows, Tetherow Resort is excited to announce its new summer Summer Skies Series. Held every other Thursday beginning on June 13, the series is designed to captivate curious minds with the complexities of outer space, covering concepts like scale, time, distance, and speed within and beyond our solar system.
With 80% of the U.S. population unable to view the Milky Way from their homes because of light pollution, Oregon’s dark skies are an increasingly rare treasure. Tetherow’s new onsite programming allows guests to appreciate these natural wonders without traveling far.
Exclusively for guests of Tetherow’s multi-bedroom vacation homes, nighttime stargazing sessions offer a deeper dive into the cosmos. Starting at $450, this package accommodates groups or families of up to 10 people in the intimacy of their own home with direct access to Grant Tandy and a telescope led experience.
