Come join the Peterborough Astronomical Association (PAA) on Tuesday, August 12th to view the annual Perseid Meteor Shower Event, at Harold Town Conservation Area (located 3.5 km east of Television Road on the Old Norwood Road, on the south side just before the Drummond Line), starting at 9:00 p.m. until possibly the wee hours of the 13th.  As always, this event is free and open to the public and fun for all ages.  One night of the year worth staying up for…what better way to spend a Tuesday night in the summer!

Although optical aids are not needed for the meteor shower, members of the PAA will have telescopes and binoculars set up to view other wonders of the night sky. Bring your own binoculars and there will guided tours of constellations and night sky gems! Catch a glimpse of many star clusters and galaxies which will be visible as the evening progresses. There will also be a chance to see Mars, Saturn and its thin “rings”! The Moon will fortunately not be full, but will also be a great target to view later in the evening.

The PAA will use the area adjacent to the parking lot at Harold Town C.A.. Come dressed and prepared to spend time outside. See you there and keep looking up!

This is a weather dependent event. If the skies are cloudy & precipitating, the event will be canceled that evening. Please check the PAA website and Facebook page for status updates, the day of this event.
