Join Chabot astronomers for a watch party of one of most abundant meteor showers of the year, the Perseids. Every August the earth passes through the debris of the giant Comet Swift Tuttle, the origin comet of this famed shower. Meteors are named by the radiant point — the region of the sky where the shower appears to originate. The Perseids’ radiant is the constellation Perseus! Learn more interesting facts about the shower at the watch party and bring your questions. Hot chocolate. Advance purchase required. Weather permitting.
