About the event

Perseid Meteor Shower with RASC
Have you ever observed a 'shooting star'? The Perseid Meteor Shower peaks on the night of Tuesday, August 12. Come join us and members of the Windsor Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada on Tuesday, August 12 for a day and night of special events in the park to celebrate our annual Perseid Meteor Shower Watch Party! Bring a blanket or folding chair and watch for the streaks of light as these space rocks rain down on the Earth's atmosphere. As in the past, volunteers from the astronomy club will have telescopes out on the West Beach after sunset to share views of many celestial objects with visitors!

As a warm-up for our night of observing, volunteer astronomers will also be offering day-time activities! A live presentation on "Meteors, Comets and Asteroids" featuring Steve Pellarin will take place in the Visitor Centre Theatre at 4 pm and 7 pm. Telescopes with special filters will also be set up in front of the visitor centre from 1 - 4 pm to show visitors closeup views of eruptions and magnetic storms on the Sun's surface!

Please note all outdoor observing activities are weather dependent. Telescopes can't see through clouds! We hope you can join us for this special day of events!
