# Event Details - **Event Name**: ✨ Perseid Meteor Shower Peak Viewing Party ✨ - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 13 Aug, 2026 at 09:30 pm - **Event Description**: ✨ Perseid Meteor Peak & Deep Space Night ✨ Join us in Coalville on August 13th for a night of rapid-fire meteors and high-definition deep-space discovery! With the moon nearly invisible, we have a rare "perfect dark" window to witness the universe’s natural fireworks. Special Guest: The University of Utah Physics & Astronomy Department The U of U outreach team is back with their fleet of high-powered telescopes! This month, we’re moving beyond the basics. While July was about the big picture, August is about the details—using professional optics to see objects millions of light-years away. ?What We’ll Observe (9:30 PM – 11:30 PM): The Perseid Meteor Shower: Look toward the northeast to catch fast-moving "shooting stars" streaking through the atmosphere. Since it's peak night, expect bright flashes and long tails! ? The Rings of Saturn: By 10:00 PM, we’ll turn the telescopes toward Saturn. You’ll be able to see its iconic ring system and its largest moon, Titan, as clear as a postcard. Deep-Space Showpieces: The Andromeda Galaxy: Peer through the lens to see our nearest galactic neighbor—a swirling island of a trillion stars. The "Jewelry Box" Cluster: We’ll zoom in on the Double Cluster in Perseus, a stunning side-by-side pair of glittering star groups. Albireo (The Double Star): See one of the sky's best-kept secrets—a single star that splits into two brilliant colors (vivid gold and sapphire blue) through a telescope. The Ghostly "Apple Core": We’ll hunt for the Dumbbell Nebula, a glowing cloud of gas left behind by a dying star that looks like a neon-green bowtie in the deep dark. ? Event Pro-Tips: Keep it Dark: To preserve everyone’s night vision, please avoid white flashlights or bright phone screens. Comfort is Key: Bring a reclining lawn chair or a blanket to lay on—it's the best way to watch the meteor shower without straining your neck. Come explore the science of the stars with us! Grab a warm jacket and prepare for a world-class view of the cosmos. Event Details ? Start Time: 9:30 PM (Nautical Twilight End)- Arrive around 7:30PM to watch the sun set over the Wasatch Mountains. ? Forecast: Historical data from sources like the Global Historical Climatology Network show that over nearly 80 years, August 13th averages a high of about 85°F and a low of 45°F. Since we'll be out after dark, it will likely be in the 50s—so please bring a warm jacket and a blanket!
