PROGRAM NOTE.
OH HOW WE WONDER
As new water before the snow-line forms
This great existence may be
As persistent as the earthly steps
Of oceans filled with roving things
We see as we seethes wonders in celestial dance
And as we have learned
The enemy to be our eyes and soul
So, for what the millennia of toil
Our tools and every bit of self extol
A world not of ours to share this beastly place
Be alone in outer space
Or accept Copernican grace
-Tony Berendsen

commissioner biography.
Lake Tahoe’s crystal clear dark nights are perfect for star gazing and there’s no better guide than poet-astronomer Tony Berendsen, owner to Tahoe Star Tours.
Fascinated with Astronomy since he was given a telescope at age eight, Tony uses a unique mix of art and science to help his guests understand the view into space. He recites poems written for the purpose of describing the cosmos, he calls “Poastromy.
Berendsen leads each tour. He is an award-winning amateur astronomer residing in Reno and a past president of the Astronomical Society of Nevada. Berendsen has been showing the skies above northern Nevada and California for the past 15 years.
