The Perseid Meteor Shower peaks in mid-August and is one of the most popular meteor showers of the year. Learn where it gets its name, how it’s connected to the constellation Perseus, and view the meteors from inside the portable planetarium. Other summer night celestial highlights will be shown. Participants are required to sit on the floor. Ask about accommodations.

Meet at the Discovery Center.  All ages are welcome to this free event, but register online for everyone attending by 1 p.m. on Tuesday, August 12.
