PERSEID METEOR SHOWER VIEWING
The Perseid meteor shower, one of the brighter meteor showers of the year, occurs every year. The shower tends to peak around August 9-13. The best time to view the Perseids, and most other meteor showers, is when the sky is the darkest. Most astronomers suggest that depending on the Moon’s phase, the best time to view meteor showers is right before dawn. Volunteers from the Warren Rupp Observatory will be presenting basic astronomy, star charts, and telescopes and view the meteor shower that night. Meet at Welcome Center building around 9pm.
All events & programs are always open to the public. Gate admission fees may apply.
