Gunning Down COVID-19 !
We use Protexus electrostatic sprayers armed with sodium troclosene (NaDCC) to treat our indoor space and amphitheater seating. Without being toxic to humans, this is a medical-grade anti-viral chemical, with longer potency than bleach (NaOCL). These "guns" also disinfect the air--which matters most--not just surfaces, which probably never did.
We wonder... if the Public Defense Act had been used to mass produce these "guns," perhaps 600,000 Americans wouldn't have died? Certainly the schools could have reopened as soon as they had these. Oh well, at least we got ours and continue to use it. In spite of our mostly outdoor setting, we were one of the first Utah businesses to require (and provide) face masks, and we might be one of the last to completely stop. We no longer require you, our guests, to wear face masks, but our staff, who is 100% vaccinated, will still theirs while at the telescopes. Why? Out of doors at night, doesn't come with the disinfecting benefit of UV from our Sun. And because looking through telescopes is sort of like eating off the same 4-7 plates with dozens of strangers. Read more and you might decide you still want to wear your face mask too. |
Private Tours in Northern Utah: Park City, Eden, etc.
Utah Has Become The Dark Sky State!Southern Utah boasts 4 (Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Natural Bridges, and Hovenweep) of the 6 darkest places accessible by regular car in North America! In total 22 National and Utah State Parks have earned "Dark Sky" approval status by the International Dark Sky Association, as have the communities of Torrey and Helper, Utah.
We the Dark Rangers® are among Utah's original dark sky champions which is why we sally forth from our Observatory to offer private tours in Northern Utah including popular destinations like Park City, Eden, and Cache Valley. If your travel plans don't include Southern Utah, get a better planner next time. But in the meantime consider booking us for a 1-night road show telescope tour in Northern Utah. |
