miSci - Museum of Innovation and Science, 15 Nott Terrace Heights, Schenectady, NY 12308, USA
The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 bright meteors per hour at its peak. The shower runs annually from July 17 to August 24 and peaks on the night of August 12th and the morning of the 13th. Join us for a presentation and live planetarium show to learn how to observe this spectacular meteor shower.
