Congratulations to our winners of the grand telescope raffle, Rambo (6 years old) and Rosa Lopez, who happens to be a UCR alumna! We are sincerely grateful for your (and everyone's) continuous support for our outreach program, and we hope the telescope will take Rambo on a new journey with stars!

A special thanks to Celestron for donating this telescope to Joe Castro, who was kind enough to provide it as a raffle prize for our virtual stargazing party.

Our next virtual stargazing is on Thursday, Aug. 5th. Hope to see you there!!
