12-Year-Old Senegalese Boy Built A Telescope That Allows Him To See The Surface Of The Moon

Meet Malick Ndiaye from Senegal

With wires and soda cans, a 12-year-old Senegalese boy built a telescope that allows him to see the surface of the Moon.

The interest in space phenomena and the hours of reading the book, The Whole Universe, was what prompted Malick Ndiaye to design a telescope with the few resources he had.

The boy born in Senegal, just 12 years old, used some old high-magnification glasses that his father used, a camera lens, wire, paper, cans and cane to make his own telescope.

With these resources, the young African built a telescope that allowed him to see the night sky and the details of the Moon’s surface.
