Perseid Meteor Shower Watch and Stargazing Featuring the Northwoods Explorers

Join us on August 12th for an amazing night of stargazing featuring the expert astronomers from The Northwoods Explorers! With clear skies we hope to see a few Perseid meteors coming from the NE on the horizon. Unfortunately, this year a nearly full moon rises in the E at 9:30 PM. We will have telescopes setup to view a few deep sky objects, double stars, clusters, craters on the moon and maybe Saturn at the end of the program.

Gates open at 7:30pm with an informal introduction at 8:30pm. This program will be weather dependent.

A $10 donation per vehicle is recommended.
