Star Party

Sunday May 4, 2008

The Eta Aquarids meteor shower is predicted to be strong this year. This meteor shower is formed of dust from Halley's Comet and the meteors are brighter than most. Watch for it in the eastern sky May 4-7. The best viewing time is just before the sky lightens in the morning.

Also, see nebulae, star clusters, planets, moons, and interesting happenings in the night sky this Saturday night with the members of the Fort Worth Astronomical Society. Society members bring their telescopes to the parking lot north of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and allow the public to view the night sky. Admission is free. The star party starts after dusk when the sky is dark enough to see the stars.
