The “Nature of Nightfall” event will be taking place at Platte River State Park (14421 346th St, Louisville, NE 68037). Between 5 and 10:30 they will be having 2 dozen naturalists at 10 different stations delivering programming for upwards of 250. Brian Sivill of Branched Oak Observatory will be presenting a general Astronomy program at 9:00PM in the Mallet Lodge Nature Center.

If the weather cooperates, after the program, Brian Sivill and Matt Anderson will take the group for a walk to tennis courts OR an adjacent open field  both about 5 minutes from Mallet Lodge, for observing. Michael Sibbernsen will join you two after completing an earlier program in Omaha.

Note to Brian and Matt: You will probably want to arrive early enough to check out the area and set up equipment. You may want to bring your own power cord, HDMI cords, and any other adaptors. The program should last around 30 minutes to 45 at most. If cloudy out, this would be the conclusion of our activities.

Note to BOO Volunteers– We could definitely use 1-3 more observation-capable astronomers to help with this. Please contact Matt or Michael if you can help out.
