Description:
This year could be a stunning year to view Leonid meteors. Bill Cooke of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center said " In 2009, we expect the Leonids to produce upwards of 500 meteors per hour. That's a very strong display." Join fellow meteor gazers for what could be an exceptional night of viewing 'shooting stars.' Bundle up with sleeping bags and mats. Weather permitting. All ages. Registration is required for this free event. Please be prepared for frigid night time temperatures with sleeping bags, sleeping pads, hats, thermals, gloves, etc. Chaise lounge chairs work wonderfully for viewing meteor showers.
