METEOR MANIA!
This year mother nature is supposed to be putting on a spectacular fireworks show. Travel far away from those annoying city lights to view spectacular meteor showers under the pristine dark skies of Kitt Peak, your National Observatory! Festivities begin late and stretch into the wee hours of the morning as we observe one of Nature’s most spectacular cosmic shows. Learn about meteors, comets, meteor showers, and touch an actual piece of an asteroid. Adults and families with children 8 years or above are encouraged to attend. Three dates available. Reservations and deposit required.
