There's a new arrival at Astronomers Without Borders and you can help give it a name! Sales of AWB first self-branded telescope will not only raise funds for global astronomy programs, it will be used in AWB's own international projects. Sourced for AWB by Celestron, the world's largest manufacturer of telescopes, the 5-inch table-top Dobsonian collapses to a small package for easy transport. It's ideal for beginning astronomers and a great "grab-and-go" scope for experts.
This latest star in the AWB universe deserves a good name, and this is where you come in. Nominate a name for the new AWB telescope, and if your name is chosen you'll win one for yourself! Submit name ideas before 2 September to be eligible to win. The winning name will be announced on mid-September.
The AWB telescope is now available for purchase for buyer's in the US only. The naming contest is open to everyone worldwide.
Whether you win the telescope or buy one you're supporting Astronomers Without Borders' global astronomy programs, bringing us together through our universal interest in astronomy, and introducing science in developing countries. It's a win-win situation. One People, One Sky!
