Special Stargazing Experiences
Our Special Events feature unique, time-sensitive astronomical phenomena such as meteor showers, eclipses, planetary alignments, and other rare celestial events. These experiences are scheduled around the night sky itself and are only offered on select dates. Each event provides a chance to experience something truly unique under the stars.
Perseid Meteor Shower 8/12/2026
Our next special stargazing event is our Perseid Meteor Shower Stargazing Tour on August 12, 2026. This is a special night you do not want to miss. The Perseid Meteor Shower happens only once every year and is one of the most spectacular meteor showers the entire year. On any given year, you can expect to see around 50-100 shooting stars per hour during the peak.

Free Community Events
We also take part in select free community events, where we join fellow astronomers, from various groups and organizations, to share the sky with larger crowds. These gatherings are more casual and energetic, offering a fun, accessible introduction to stargazing for all ages.
