Think the are the only worth watching? Think again. ☄️ This summer, Earth is passing through multiple streams of comet and asteroid debris, creating everything from faint shooting stars to brilliant fireballs. 🌠 The Perseids peak Aug. 12-13, but the Delta Aquariids, Alpha Capricornids, Kappa Cygnids, and more are already lighting up the night sky.

Want to learn where these meteors come from and what to watch for? Explore space under the largest artificial sky in the Western Hemisphere at the James S. McDonnell Planetarium, then look up with us at:

🔭 Star Party: Aug. 7 (6:30-10pm)
☀️ Solar Sundays: Aug. 9, 16, 23 & 30 (11am-3pm)
FREE telescope viewing, weather permitting.
