The Handmade Christmas Telescope

My friend Rachel Hobson is a huge space geek — she went to Space Camp as a kid, she listens in to Mission Control chatter and follows NASA on Twitter, and she’s covering the upcoming shuttle launch for MAKE: magazine. Her husband Chris made her a secret, incredible Christmas present this year in their garage: a real, working handmade telescope!

Rachel has more to say about it on her blog… and don’t miss her space reporting for MAKE: coming up!

    Aw, thanks for the mention, Susan! This telescope has been such a special gift (in many ways!) And – we’ve been able to see Jupiter and its moons and the Orion Nebula. It’s amazing! I love it!

    Geek crafts 4EVER! :)
