This is the ULTIMATE level of outreach support when nothing else will do.

man's view of his place in the Universe (US only)
by proving that the Earth and all the
planets revolved around the Sun

If you are not within 100 miles of the Atlanta Area you can assign the telescope and visit to go to any school, family member or group of your choice within 100 miles of Atlanta in your name. I will make it very special for them. you will still receive the other items via US mail.
