Night Sky Program - Perseid Meteor Shower
This event has already occurred. This page is provided for reference only.
Join the USD Telescopers and Park Rangers Tom and Ann to view the Perseid Meteor Shower and other astronomical objects at Spirit Mound. The annual shower is one of the best displays of “shooting stars” that you can see. The Telescopers will have their scopes ready to help you view stationary objects in the night sky. Tom and Ann will offer informal roving interpretation about astrophotography, star mythology, and dark sky conservation.
Please dim or extinguish your headlights when you turn off of HWY 19 so as not to blind your fellow star gazers. Bring a redlight if you have one.
