Event Type

Please join us for a guided tour of the night sky and view the Perseids Meteor Shower! John R. Kirk Planetarium Director Raj Pandya will lead us through the stars and constellations.

Each year in August, Earth passes through the trail of debris left behind by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Small bits of dust left behind by the comet burn up in Earth’s atmosphere, creating a meteor shower. Shooting stars appear to originate from the constellation Perseus, hence the name, “Perseids.”

Tickets are $18 a person Tuesday, August 13th | Perseids Meteor Shower Viewing | Hutton Brickyards
