Current Schedule
Check the Home page for current outreach programs.

Who We Serve
The RMA is provides educational outreach programs for:

• schools
• churches
• Scout troups
• civic groups
• or any other group

We will assist any group that has an interest in learning about the sky. We can present an astronomy-related talk or activity which fits the needs of your group. We can help scout troops prepare for their merit badges. We consider astronomy and the space sciences a life-long learning experience which parents should share with their children, and children with their parents.

The main attraction at our outreach programs is often "Godzilla" This telescope is a 17.5-inch reflector telescope. We will bring Godzilla plus many other telescopes to your location upon request so your group can view and appreciate the pleasures of the night sky.
