Star Party: Leonid Meteor Shower

The annual Leonid Meteor shower! This is a moderate meteor shower, produced by comet Tempel-Tuttle. It is famous for having a cyclic, 33-year period, capable of producing a meter “storm,” but we’ll hope for an ordinary show this year, plus good views of Saturn and Uranus, and a farewell to fall skies. Cultures across the world and throughout time are united in a fascination with the night sky. Humans have used stars to mark the passage of time, tell stories, build mythologies, and navigate across vast dark oceans. With powerful telescopes and a wealth of knowledge, Bob Piekiel is your tour guide to the stars and planets, revealing the secrets of the far away, inspiring us to think about how special our little green and blue ball in space is.
