Astronomy Enrichment Travel
Join
Dennis
on
a
variety
of
exciting
and
fun-filled
trips
to
the
most
exotic
locations
on
the
globe,
to
experience
such
cosmic
wonders
as
the
northern
lights,
eclipses,
and
more.
If
you’ve
got
an
inquisitive
mind
and
love
to
experience
our
world—and
others—these
cosmic
adventures are definitely for you!
Join Dennis for a northern lights adventure of a lifetime, as we gaze upon
the stunning skies of Interior Alaska.
If you've been holding off, keep in mind we’re nearing the top of the 11-year
solar activity cycle when the northern lights are at their strongest.
Few places on Earth are as good for viewing the lights as Fairbanks,
Alaska, the aurora capital of the U.S., and it’s here where you'll learn to
predict, view and photograph these most magical of dancing lights.
During the daytime we’ll visit the University of Alaska’s remarkable
Museum of the North, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, the World Ice Art
Championships and more. And we’ll spend four days/nights enjoying the
Chena Hot Springs Resort where we can hike, go dog sledding, visit the Ice
Museum or the Geothermal Energy / Greenhouse, or just relax with a dip in the natural hot springs.
And, of course, you’ll have each night to seek out the northern lights at your leisure, or with Dennis and/or others in our group.
To learn more about this amazing week, please send Dennis an email right away. Only a few more rooms remain available. I know you’ll
have a fantastic time you won’t soon forget!

The last total solar eclipse visible from a broad area of North America until
2044 will occur on April 08 of next year.
If you've never experienced the indescribable excitement of this rare
celestial wonder, I hope you'll join me in Mazatlán for this once-in-a-
lifetime experience. For those who have experienced it, you’ll need no
extra encouragement!
Why Mazatlán? Because the average April cloud cover there is the lowest
along the entire path of totality. Plus, it’s a warm and inviting city to visit
and explore.
Along with Dennis will be lecturers Seth Shostak (SETI Institute) and Rich
Talcott (Astronomy Magazine) to share with you presentations that’ll keep
you looking up!
