Arizona Sky Village is a residential community located in Portal, Cochise County, Arizona. It is a fully-platted subdivision offering
spectacular unobstructed views of Cave Creek Canyon and exquisite night skies.
The community is dedicated to the preservation of its pristine natural surroundings, native habitats, and dark skies. The community
is primarily known for its concentration of amateur astronomers, who come from all over the world, to explore the wonders of the night
sky in one of the best observing locations on the planet.
As noted earlier, since its inception nearly eight years ago, ASV
has been frequently featured in top news media including The New York Times, National Geographic, Life Magazine 70 Years in Pictures,
Reuters, Associated Press, Rolex for Enterprise, Tucson Weekly, Astronomy Magazine, and Sky and Telescope - just to name a few.
The
experienced development team is spear-headed by Eugene L. Turner and Jack and Alice Newton.

Jack
and Alice Newton
World-renowned astro-photographer and Arizona Sky Village co-founders, Jack and Alice Newton, have been a driving
force in amatuer astronomy for more than forty years. Jack's historically-significant photo of Apollo 11's oxygen dump proved
to skeptics that we were in fact enroute to the moon. Jack has been instrumental in developing photographic technology that has changed
the face of astrophotography.
With photos taken from Arizona Sky Village Jack has been featured in noted publications such as
Life in Picture's 70th, National Geographic, Astronomy Magazine, AOL, and many, many more.
