MT. CUBA ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY
In 1958, seven men, inspired by the work of one of the world's greatest astronomers and native of Delaware, Annie Jump Cannon, founded the Mount Cuba Astronomical Observatory (MCAO) as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. MCAO's mission is focused on astronomy education at all levels while maintaining an active program of astronomical research.
