The Perseid Meteor shower is coming! To celebrate this annual event, the Northeast Kingdom Astronomy Foundation will hold a Star/Meteor Party on Thursday, August 12 at the Northern Skies Observatory at 336 Bayley-Hazen Road in Peacham, VT. We will start observing at 9:30 PM and go until at least 11. The moon is cooperating this year but the weather may not, so we have rain/cloud dates on Friday, August 13 and, if needed on Saturday, August 14. Please check the NKAF Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/nkaf.org/) for up-to-date scheduling announcements!
As always, dress for about 20 degrees colder than the thermometer tells you, park in the Peacham School lot and walk up the drive-way, which will be lit, so no flashlights are needed!
Clear Skies!
