Wyoming Stargazing makes the Universe come alive! A nonprofit organization based in Jackson, Wyoming Stargazing excels at making the often difficult to understand concepts of astronomy accessible to everyone.
Thanks to a generous donation from Board Member, Scott Fossel, we are excited to host Dr. Samuel Singer for our very own stargazing evening at the Preserve October 6-7! Participants will have the opportunity to be educated and inspired through Montana's extraordinary skies and the Universe beyond. We will observe planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and more through a large aperture telescope. During the day, sun spots, granules, prominences, and filaments can be observed through solar telescopes.
You’ll leave the program with a new understanding of the Universe and a sense of how you are connected to everything in the Cosmos.

Learn more about the instructor, Samuel Singer:
Dr. Samuel Singer, PhD Science Education
Samuel grew up exploring the high desert in Yerington, Nevada, which is where he first fell in love with the night sky. Study for a B.A. in Physics and Astronomy took him to Hampshire College in Amherst Massachusetts. Samuel built a couple Dobsonian telescopes and helped to establish a small observatory at Hampshire College as part of his bachelor’s degree. While at Hampshire, the deciduous forests of the east coast, led Samuel to discover his love for outdoor science education. He earned a Masters in Natural Science–Environment and Natural Resources by way of the Teton Science Schools and the University of Wyoming. Samuel built a second small observatory for the Teton Science Schools in Jackson Hole during his masters program. He has been recognized by NASA as a volunteer Solar System Ambassador, as well as by the IGES and NASA in their Top Stars program for an astronomy lesson plan he wrote.
In 2013, Samuel completed his doctorate degree in Science Education from the University of Wyoming. His dissertation research focused on spirituality in outdoor environmental education. After wrapping up his dissertation he founded Wyoming Stargazing as a way to further his passion for helping others explore the Universe.
