The “Quest” Continues!
Combining Optical and Radio Astronomy at One Event
Come join us June 24th- 27th, 2009 under the dark skies of West Virginia for the 6th annual Green Bank Star Quest at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, WV . By day checkout all the NRAO has to offer, like the new multi- million dollar Visitor’s Center, and free tours of the facilities: including the 100 meter GBT – which is the world’s largest fully steer able radio telescope. Star Quest will explore a Solar & Lunar theme and celebrate the International Year of Astronomy with 4 days of the best Astronomical Speakers in America including Capt. Allen Bean of Apollo 12 (the 4th man to walk on the Moon!), imaging classes, vendors, raffles, kids activities, and nighttime optical observing on over six acres of camp sites at the low price of $85.00 per person for the full four days (Children 18 and under are free with paying adult).

Dear Reader,
It’s not too late to register! We still have a limited number of registrations available. With our dynamite line up of speakers including the real live Apollo (Moon Walking) Astronaut Capt. Allen Bean, well stocked vendors, and all the good press we have received lately, this event looks to be a HOT ONE so register now and secure your place in Green Bank history!
Please distribute this to any interested parties.
Thank you,

Breaking News!
We have just confirmed that we will have a real Moon Rock  at Green Bank Star Quest 6 as a part of the Driven to Explore Exibit from NASA!!
"The NASA Johnson Space Center Driven to Explore
exhibit is a mobile multimedia experience showcasing
the Shuttle Program, the progress of the International
Space Station and benefits of space exploration leading
into NASA’s next major program, Constellation. The
walking tour includes breathtaking imagery and state-
of-the-art models of the Constellation Program’s
next-generation launch vehicles and human spacecraft
destined for use to explore the moon and beyond.
As part of this unique exploration experience, visitors will
learn why NASA is going back to the moon and how and
what astronauts plan to do while there. Plus, visitors will
have the unique opportunity to touch a 3 billion-year-
old moon rock brought back aboard Apollo 17, the last
manned mission to the moon in 1972. The moon rock is
the centerpiece of the exhibit and is one of only seven
lunar samples in the world made available for the public
to touch and feel. Other displays, some interactive, may
accompany the exhibit. These displays would be housed
beneath an inflatable tent on the exterior of the structure.
Driven to Explore has no admission charge and is designed
for all ages and venues. The exhibit works especially well at
festivals, museums, schools and large sporting events. The
exhibit is wheelchair accessible. Touring the exhibit takes
approximately 10 minutes."
