Meteors! BPAA 2nd Saturday Astronomy Program

The Perseid meteor shower extends from July 25 to August 18, as Earth passes through the debris left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle. The shower peaks on the night of August 12-13, unfortunately this year during a full moon, but meteors can be seen now through the 18th.  BPAA President Frank Petrie describes this and other major meteor showers occurring throughout the year, and how to watch them.
This will be a live program open to the public at the Helix Building in Battle Point Park. The program will also be live-streamed via Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, please register in advance on our website: BPAstro.org.
If the weather cooperates, there will be a star party following the presentation.

This is a free program, however donations to our new planetarium projector purchase are gladly accepted (and will be matched dollar for dollar).
