Sedona Stargazing Tours

“For amateur Galileos and star lovers, Sedona’s night sky will leave you spellbound. Just 20 minutes from uptown Sedona, over 200 terracotta-tinted hiking trails and panoramic red rock views with a backdrop of the heavens will make you feel like you're on another planet.

The best way to truly appreciate it is with an expert guide — Sedona Stargazing astronomers will meet you equipped with high-powered telescopes and a wealth of knowledge.”

Across the U.S., there are gems designated by the International Dark-Sky Association where the night sky comes alive and every star-chasing traveler must visit.

Of course Sedona makes the list along with two other Northern Arizona towns.

The U.S. offers top destinations for stargazing, easily accessible and well-earned.

I had heard that stargazing could be therapeutic, and that the awe it inspired could act as a salve for painful past experiences. But as I stared up at the distant galaxies, I was inching toward being a believer.

45,000

You're looking at more than 45,000 galaxies.

This image was taken as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) — one of Webb’s largest first year science programs. Though data is still coming in, JADES is already revolutionizing what we know about galaxies and star formation in the early universe.

Light from distant galaxies is stretched to longer wavelengths and “redder” colors over time due to the expansion of the universe — a phenomenon called redshift. Astronomers measure a galaxy’s redshift to learn how far away it is, as well as when it existed in the early universe. Before Webb, there were only a few dozen galaxies observed above a redshift of 8, corresponding to when the universe was younger than 650 million years old. Now Webb’s JADES program has uncovered nearly a thousand of these extremely distant galaxies!

C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is a long period comet that was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility on 2 March 2022.[1] The comet will reach its perihelion on January 12, 2023, at a distance of 1.11 AU (166 million km) and the closest approach to Earth will be on February 1, 2023, at a distance of 0.28 AU (42 million km). The comet is expected to get brighter than magnitude 6 and thus become visible with the naked eye

Keep your eyes on Comet C2022E3 (ZTF). The comet will reach perihelion on January 12 and make its closest approach on February 1. Astronomers predict this comet could become brighter than magnitude 6, and may be visible to the naked eye from a dark sky location. Let’s hope we are in for a great show!
