AstroTours.org Featured in Bold Journey Magazine!

We’re honored to share that AstroTours.org founder Luke Huxley was recently featured in Bold Journey Magazine, a publication that highlights inspiring leaders and entrepreneurs across the country.

In the interview, Luke reflects on the values that shaped AstroTours.org — especially generosity, adaptability, and curiosity — and shares how a legendary Australian astronomer known as Space Gandalf helped spark a lifelong mission to bring the stars closer to Earth.

“Greg Quicke didn’t just teach astronomy. He shared it — with passion, patience, and deep generosity,” Luke explains. “Every night under the stars, I carry Greg’s lessons with me.”

You’ll also learn more about the heart behind AstroTours.org and what makes our tours unique. Guided stargazing in Boulder, Denver, Castle Rock, and Breckenridge and our free youth astronomy programs, everything we do is rooted in the belief that the cosmos belongs to everyone.

This story offers a deeper look at why we do what we do — and how one person’s starlight can ripple across the globe.

AstroTours.org Featured on Colorado.com

I’m beyond thrilled to share that AstroTours.org has landed on Colorado.com — the official site for Colorado tourism! Think of it as one more giant leap toward connecting more folks with our celestial home above Boulder and beyond.

What This Means for AstroTours.org

Being showcased on Colorado.com — alongside adventures like skiing at Granby Ranch, fishing at Spectacle Lake, or exploring the Great Sand Dunes — feels surreal. For years, we’ve watched them highlight the best that Colorado has to offer, and now we’re part of that mix! Here’s a snippet from our new listing:

“AstroTours.org provides guided night tours of the sky with hands-on experience using telescopes, binoculars, and lasers. We host public tours multiple times a week, private events, and youth group activities. Join us for an unforgettable stargazing experience!”

Translation: If you’re after a cosmic escape — whether you’re brand-new to star-gazing or a seasoned observer — you’re welcome in our circle of telescopes, red flashlights, and starry-night chatter.

Why Colorado.com?

For travelers (or locals!) who want to plan a full-on Colorado adventure — from ziplines above the Royal Gorge to unwinding at luxe resorts in the Rockies — Colorado.com is the digital starting gate. Their site brims with tips, articles, and ways to “do Colorado right,” including:

• Family-friendly itineraries: Perfect if you want to pair a day hike in the Flatirons with an evening under the Milky Way.

• Nods to local culture & heritage: They celebrate everything from desert sunsets to high-alpine festivals.

• Free visitors’ guides: Because who doesn’t love a good map and insider recs?

Your Invitation to the Night Sky

The best part is, you don’t need any astronomy background to enjoy an AstroTour. My team and I bring high-powered telescopes, lasers for constellation tours, binoculars for that “wow” factor, and (most importantly) a warm welcome. Our home base is Boulder (with an address at 3900 Longhorn Rd), but we’re always on the go hosting private events, youth group nights, or pop-up stargazing around Colorado.

Now that we’re on Colorado.com, we hope even more curious minds find their way to us. Perhaps you’ll catch a meteor streaking overhead, see Jupiter’s stripes for the first time, or simply relish the hush that falls when everyone tilts their heads up in unison.

See You Under the Stars

If you plan to explore Colorado, consider adding “Night-Sky Adventure with AstroTours.org” to your itinerary. There’s no better finale to a day of sightseeing than watching cosmic wonders unfold overhead — from Saturn’s rings to the shimmering Pleiades.

For those who’ve been part of our tours already, thank you for lighting this path. And if you’re new to the astro-adventure, come see why the Colorado night sky is as precious (and jaw-dropping) as our mountains and canyons.

Clear skies and happy stargazing!—Luke
