The Neville Public Museum Astronomical Society (NPMAS) is a fellowship of amateur astronomers. We join together to share learnings, experiences, and the passion we have for astronomy. We nurture and promote this interest through our activities. The foundation of our endeavors is the enjoyment we share.
Meetings are free and open to the public and include society business, an astronomy-related presentation, and an overview of a Deep Sky Object of the Month.
- International Film Series at 7:00pm (Film – Americans Smell Good)
Americans Smell Good combines filmmaker Emir Cakaroz’s story in the U.S.A. with people from different social, racial, and ethnic backgrounds that he wouldn’t have met if he hadn’t come to this country. It explores the experience of being in between many cultures when living in a foreign land. Cakaroz is a Turkish documentary filmmaker who teaches at UW-Milwaukee. He received his BA and MA degrees in Cinema and Television at Anadolu University in Turkey and will join us afterwards via Zoom for a live Q&A.
