THE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF THE PACIFIC WISHES TO THANK the following organizations and individuals for their generous philanthropic support. This list reflects gifts and grants received between March 1, 2011, and February 29, 2012. Funds raised support the ASP's mission to foster scientific curiosity, advance science literacy, and share the joy of exploration and discovery — to encourage tomorrow's science, technology, and academic leaders. Although each star shines alone, they add up to a glittering night sky. Likewise, each donation adds to the next to make a great impact. Thank you for making it possible!
