  • Summary

  • This episode we’re looking above Estes Park’s peaks to the dark skies above. Rocky Mountain National Park isn’t just a haven for beautiful landscapes and wildlife, it’s also an oasis of stars.

    Light pollution is a problem all over the world. Many of us who live in cities have never seen the true magnitude of the Milky Way. That’s what we’re going to look for and it’s going to take us to meet Mike Connolly, the owner Estes Park’s biggest telescope, and to also to meet one Estes Park's most celebrated residents, astronaut Loren Shriver, who commanded the shuttle mission that deployed the Hubble Space Telescope.
