Insight OBSERVATORY'S mission is to provide the tools necessary for "hands on" astronomy education and research and make these tools accessible to students and the general public. In this WAY. We CAN enable them to participate and experience the thrill and excitement of scientific observation and discovery. Students and the general public will have the ability to participate in many projects utilizing the insight observatory that will literally "open their eyes" to the wonders of OUR universe without having to leave their classroom or backyard.
