Planet Party & Night Noises

Back by popular demand, Monday, August 12, 8 - 10 PM! Join local naturalist Rick Ahrens, and we will check out the Perseid Meteor Shower, Golden Saturn, and Jupiter. Come for the first half (8-9 PM) and we will try to spot (or hear) some crepuscular and nocturnal creatures ~ beavers, bats, moths, crickets. Later, we'll have several telescopes set up. Bring your own binoculars if you like, and a blanket if you want to lay down for best full-sky viewing of the meteor shower (or a folding camp chair, if you prefer). Long sleeves are good for mosquito protection. Meet toward the center of the park along the bike path connector. Walk, or there is limited on-street parking along the north edge of the park (access via River Road -> Stults -> Stephens Dr.)
