Know Us Better

Celestial Reach Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Ponte Vedra, Florida. It was founded in 2025 by high school student Sophie Duan. The organization’s goal is to expand access to astronomy education for K–12 students. It began as a response to gaps in STEM exposure among underserved youth. Sophie combined her interest in space science with a commitment to youth development.

We Aim to build curiosity, resilience, and lifelong learning through astronomy.

Our mission is to deliver hands-on astronomy education, community-based programs, and digital resources integrating mindfulness with science. We serve students through workshops, stargazing events, and outreach partnerships. Our programs offer tools for intellectual growth and emotional regulation.

Our message is simple. The universe belongs to everyone. We help students discover it—and discover themselves.

“My son came home from the stargazing event and asked for a telescope. He’s never shown this much excitement for science.”
