Around August 11 & 12 the Earth will pass through a stream of particles left over from Comet Shift-Tuttle III.  It's time for the Perseid Meteor Shower!

KAS members, their guests, and the general public are encouraged to join us for this shooting star spectacular.  At maximum, this shower can produce 50 meteors / hour!

KAS members will also setup telescopes and observe the deep sky delights of summer. You can bring binoculars or a telescope, but you'll only need your eyes. Do bring a lawn chair, blanket, a refreshing beverage, and maybe even some bug spray so you'll be comfortable while you watch the "Tears of Saint Lawrence" fall from the sky!
