Shooting Stars
Shooting Stars
Many know shooting stars as striking trails of light, but their name is misleading since they are neither shooting nor stars. These streaks of light, also known as meteors, are caused by fragments of either comets or asteroids. Find out how to witness these mesmerizing light trails for yourself!
The program will include an indoor stargazing session of the night sky followed by the opportunity to ask questions., This event is open to the public. Not recommended for children under 4.
