Want to see meteors and galaxies? Head to Fort Frederick Saturday, July 26
The TriState Astronomers will host a Star and Meteor Shower Party at Fort Frederick State Park. According to a community announcement, the event is scheduled for Saturday, July 26, from 8:30 to 10 p.m. at 11100 Fort Frederick Road, Big Pool.
Participants will have the chance to use telescopes provided by TSA members to view galaxies, nebulae and other celestial objects. The event will also coincide with the Delta Aquarids meteor shower, allowing attendees to catch glimpses of meteors streaking across the sky.
The park is known for its dark skies, making it an ideal location for stargazing. TSA members will be present to assist both experienced stargazers and newcomers in exploring the night sky.
This event aims to foster interest in astronomy and provide a unique opportunity for community members to connect with the cosmos.
