Stars might not be the first attraction that come to mind when you think of Arizona.

But when the sun sets, the Tucson area has some of the clearest views of the night sky. In fact, many consider Tucson the Astronomy Capital of the World. Peter sits down with Rich Fedele, manager of public outreach for the Kitt Peak National Observatory. Fedele shares the day and night programs that bring the public into the observatory which allow people to interact with astronomers, watch as they conducting research, and explore the observatory's equipment. As always, you can find more travel information on http://www.PeterGreenberg.com
