A birthday treat, and a surprise to boot! This one was for my student Kate and her dad, Mark. Kate used to always keep me up-to-date on the latest NASA tweets, and Mark is a lover of all things science-y. They recently gave me an excellent Meade reflecting telescope that we immediately put to use at an elementary school Space Night, so I figured I'd return the favor. This beauty is fully edible, right down to the mounted finder scope and focus knob. The texture on the connecting bands really helped give the whole thing some dimension.
