If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things. -Rene Descartes
Where did the idea for The Mobile Observatory Project com from?
It began with a hobby- the Suspicious0bservers YouTube channel was created by Ben in 2011 to provide a short daily summary and analysis on the following topics: heliophysics, seismology, earth's magnetism, and more - all by 6:30AM EST! See his background here.
2013: Ben created Suspicious0bservers.org, providing premium members more through monthly/annual memberships, providing weekly podcasts, special videos, etc.
2014: He convinced his wife Kat to leave her job the financial industry to pursue and help manage The Mobile Observatory Project: turning an RV into a Mobile Observatory, traveling across the U.S. and Canada on tour, conducting research and doing educational outreach at schools, museums and public venues.

They purchased the base RV, a 2002 Bounder themselves, and a successfully funded Kickstarter campaign with 870 sponsors helped with the retrofit and journey.
The husband and wife team (and their dogs) have traveled 20,000+ miles to 40 states and 4 provinces, with over 75 events. Between the morning news, driving several hours a day, scheduling events, filling up the MOP and speaking/presenting, it was certainly a nonstop adventure.They wrapped up in February 2015 to put The Mobile Observatory into storage to get ready for their new role: parents!
Although no longer on the road (for now), the projects continued on:

Although no longer on the road (for now), the projects continued on:
- Observing The Frontier, an annual conference
- The Disaster Prediction App
- Additional online resources: SpaceWeatherNews.com, MagneticReversal.org, QuakeWatch.net
