Welcome!

Hello! My name is Saniya Kulkarni, and I am the founder of Project Sideris. In the past two years, I have gained a deep love for astronomy. My curiosity, as well as my interest in engineering led me to build a 6-inch Newtonian reflector as well as a Hydrogen line radio telescope. Project Sideris aims to share these experiences with the Jacksonville community and offer students an opportunity to build these telescopes as well. 

​

Our universe is waiting to be explored. Just beyond our atmosphere lie planets, stars, and galaxies, waiting to be uncovered by a curious eye. Project Sideris is a stepping stone towards uncovering the mysteries that lie beyond our horizons.
