Description
Saratoga National Historical Park is hosting a Perseid Meteor Shower Watch Party on August 11 from 9:30 to 10:30 pm. Join us for a night under the stars on the Visitor Center Lawn during a peak night of the Perseid Meteor Shower. Ranger Kristin will give a short presentation about our connections to the night sky, the majesty of meteor showers, a night sky tour, and how you can help to protect this disappearing resource. After the presentation, attendees will have time to watch the night sky for meteors. Under favorable night sky conditions, it is estimated that you can see around 100 meteors per hour. Although we do have light pollution here, if the weather cooperates, we are hoping for a good show!
RESERVATIONS ARE NOW FULL! The date has changed to Friday, August 11 from 9:30 to 10:30 pm.
