Upcoming Events

Saturday, August 24 - History of Radar Astronomy at Havana
Presentation will be given on the previous use of the airport - the exciting emerging field of Radar Astronomy. Learn what the scientists learned in the 60's and 70's about bouncing up to four megawatts off meteorites in an MIT project funded by NASA. The one hour presentation begins at 10 AM.

Gaze at nature's most magnificent blazing sights in darkest nighttime skies as a bevy of volunteer astronomers from nearby universities bring their large telescopes and knowledge take you on a fascinating guided tour of the galaxy and the universe beyond.

Early arrivals can enjoy hamburgers and hot dogs for a donation, and for overnighters, a pancake and sausage breakfast will be served Sunday morning.
