Desert Moon Dreams

Ben Benton shares his telescope for a view of the moon.

"The desert under a full moon is just magical, I urge you to make time to experience it," Dennis Mammana shared his passion for our nearest celestial neighbor. After days of clouds and rain, we weren't sure if we'd get to use the telescopes, but when everything cleared it was just beautiful.

We love it, because that's the kind of museum we are trying to build.
