Meteor Shower Viewing in Peters Canyon-SATURDAY

Enjoy the evening night sky lit up by the cascading flashes of meteors! The Perseids Meteor Shower is an annual event in the middle of August, producing about 100 meteors an hour. This year will be washed out a bit by the full moon’s glow but with a quick eye, you may still catch a glimpse of a flash of light streaking across the sky. You’ll hear astronomy folklore, search for different constellations, and discover nocturnal critters that call the canyon home. Bring your own blankets and chairs to sit and enjoy the nighttime show!

Dress warmly in layers as the evening becomes quite cool. Program is free though there is a Park Entrance Fee per vehicle. For questions, please contact Resource Specialist, Kelley Brugmann at 714-973-6625 or Kelley.Brugmann@ocparks.com
