AWB Update - July 18
In just 48 hours I will board a flight to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. There, we will unpack and reassemble the historic Cave-Cassegrain telescope initially refurbished by the Racine Astronomical Society and then completed by me and Dan Heim, here in Arizona, last fall.
This will bring to fruition a journey started nearly a decade ago by Chuck and Sue, Mponda Sibuor, the Board of Directors in Meru, and all who have worked to bring astronomy to rural Tanzania.
Stay tuned to the Astronomers Without Borders website and Telescopes to Tanzania FB pages as we work toward first light, with students, teachers, and the dark African sky overhead!
