Ten 0.4-meter telescopes comprise the portion of LCO’s global network dedicated to education and they are located in both the northern and southern hemisphere rings.

The new grant from the Moore Foundation will allow LCO to continue to support 30 Global Sky Partners per year and will also allow us to give multi-year status to the stronger Partner programs. With these funds, we will be able to increase outreach to Partners in our most underrepresented communities and in the developing world.
