Catch the year’s most reliable meteor shower at the peak of the Geminids! Join Night Sky Tourist’s Vicky Derksen for cultural perspectives on meteor showers and insights about the Geminids themselves. These medium-speed meteors create beautiful long trails, and with the moon rising after midnight, conditions are perfect for meteor watching. You’ll also touch a real meteorite and view Jupiter and Saturn through telescopes.
This FREE event is brought to you in collaboration between Night Sky Tourist and the Town of Fountain Hills.
LOCATION: Four Peaks Park in Fountain Hills
WHAT TO BRING:
- Blanket or chairs for relaxing on the grass to watch for meteors
- Red flashlights only (no white flashlights or smartphone lights)
