Join Chabot astronomers for a watch party of the Perseids–one of most abundant meteor showers of the year. Every August, the Earth passes through the debris of the giant comet Swift-Tuttle, the origin of this famed shower. Named for the region of the sky where the shower appears to originate, the constellation Perseus, these meteors can be seen flashing across all parts of the sky. The Perseids are best viewed without telescopes or even binoculars. So come prepared to sit back, look up and enjoy the show!
