The Nebraska Astronomy
Trail
Nebraska is not currently a notable place for
astro-tourism experiences, but the state is expected to receive its very first
IDA International Dark-Sky designation this year, and it's created the Nebraska Astronomy Trail to celebrate! It features several different
locations to enjoy astro-tourism experiences, including the Boswell
Observatory, a still-functioning observatory on Doane University's campus
dating back to the 1880s. Just outside of Omaha is the Eugene T. Mahoney State
Park, which is where the city's Astronomical Society's star parties are held.
The Merritt Reservoir State Recreation Area is home to the state's annual Star
Party and offers some of the best stargazing in the state.
