Meteor Showers 101

If you look up at the night sky from mid-July to late-August, you may experience the beautiful phenomen called the Perseids Meteor shower. You may even notice an abundance of shooting stars, or meteors, during its peak from August 11-13. What is a meteor, and why are we seeing so many shooting stars during the late summer? Join the park educator for a presentation into shooting stars, meteor showers, how to best view them, and much more so you are well prepared for your next star gazing experience.

Please meet at the Environmental Learning Center on Saturday, August 9th at 3 PM, for this presentation.

If you need an accommodation to participate in park activities due to a disability, please contact the park you plan to visit.
