Description
Join us for hands-on nighttime astronomy programs with traveling volunteers John and Brenda Nejedlo of GeoAstroRV!
Nighttime programs allow you to be more involved as John and Brenda will teach visitors how to use their various telescopes and allow time to explore the night sky with them. Nighttime programs last 2 to 3 hours and include a laser presentation on constellations. Nighttime presentations are limited to 12 people and attendees must be middle school age and above. To reserve your spot for the nighttime program call Homestead National Monument of America at (402) 223-3514 or stop in and speak to a ranger.
While programs are scheduled for everyday April 30 through May 28, they are subject to weather and visibility. Decisions on whether a program will be held or not will be made 24 hours in advance based on the visibility readings from cleardarksky.com. You can call Homestead National Monument at (402) 223-3514 for program updates.
Homestead National Monument of America is excited to host John and Brenda Nejedlo of GeoAstroRV as monument volunteers from April 30-May 28, 2019. John and Brenda are travelling the country in their RV and volunteering their astronomy knowledge at national park sites across the Midwest. GeoAstroRV will give both daytime and nighttime astronomy programs every day, weather permitting, during their stay at Homestead National Monument of America.
You can visit their website at geoastrorv.com to learn more and follow their journey.
