A Star Party

Location: Sled Hill of Heritage Park (Spicer House if Cloudy)

With up to 50 meteors per hour, the Perseids are among the most active meteor showers. While best viewed in the late hours of the night, join us at Heritage Park's sled hill for a chance to spot a few of these "shooting stars". These specks of dust are remnants of a comet called 109P/Swift-Tuttle, and they move as fast as 60 miles per second!

In the event it is cloudy on Tuesday night, we will have a back up viewing the following night, Wednesday August 12.

The evening will be accompanied with some space-themed music by the Dangling Ganglion.
