What are NOVAC meetings like?
NOVAC’s General Meetings are typically held both in person and streamed live via Google Meet. Please visit NOVAC.com for the latest details on meeting times, locations, and links, as these may vary month to month.
Meetings are usually scheduled for 4:30 PM on the second Sunday of each month, but be sure to confirm each date and time online.
Our meetings begin with:
NOVAC news and upcoming events
Member observing reports and informal discussion
A featured speaker presentation followed by Q&A
The featured speaker is often an invited expert in astronomy or space science—from NASA scientists to professional astrophotographers and university researchers. We also showcase talks by NOVAC members on topics of interest to the club and the public.
For online attendees, our Google Meet stream opens at 4:00 PM for casual conversation. When meetings are held at George Mason University, the room is open at 4:00 PM for members and guests to socialize before the program begins.
All are welcome—members and the public, beginners and experts alike. Join us and share in the excitement of astronomy!
