If your son came home and talked about what we're doing at Day Camp, you might check out the following with him: 

A NOVA program on PBS about exactly what we have been learning about during camp:  "Earth From Space."  This program talks about observations coming from the International Space Station (Astronomy belt loop and pin connection) and what they are telling us about Earth's geography (Map and Compass belt loop and pin connection) and Weather on Earth (Weather belt loop and pin connection). Find this program online at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/space/earth-from-space.html

Also, John Johnson of the Omaha Astronomical Society told us that there will be a very exciting comet in the night sky this fall, sometime in November.  The Astronomical Society will have special events to check it out.  You can find out about these special events and all the other public programs the Society holds at:    http://www.omahaastro.com/.  

John also mentioned that in the fall, University of Nebraska-Lincoln has an open house a few times at their big observatory telescope.  The Strategic Air and Space Museum also has programs about the night sky.
