SUMMARY:Meteor showers

Talk with our astronomers\, try hands-on demonstrations of meteor detection techniques\, and learn how to make the most of these celestial events. \nAdmission is free and open to everyone—no registration required.\n 📅 Saturday\, May 17 🕣 8:30 PM – 11:00 PM 📍 Cronyn Observatory \nFind directions and parking information here: https://cronyn.uwo.ca/visit-the-observatory/ \nWe look forward to sharing the wonder of meteors with you!
