ATTENTION: Meteorite lovers and shooting star wishers of Elk Ridge!

 
Tonight (Friday, Aug. 11) is the first of three nights during whcih the Perseid Meteorite Shower occurs and is visible from our geographic area. Although the best time to view these is well after midnight, it should begin by about 9pm.  Therefore, any interested viewers are welcome to meet in the large park at 9pm.  Most meteorites are visible to the Northeast which is away from the city lights, so we should have a decent viewing.  We will try and also meet at 9pm again on Saturday (Aug. 12) and Sunday (Aug. 13).  Come and make your wishes!  There are enough shooting stars for everyone to have his or her own!
