Brunswick Topsham Land Trust and Southern Maine Astronomers (SMA) are again teaming up to celebrate and enjoy one of the best meteor showers of the year – the Perseids. Meteor showers are best seen by naked eye so please bring a blanket to lay on (and probably some bug spray!) and enjoy the show. SMA will have a number of seasoned observers with telescopes to share to show you nebulae, star clusters, galaxies and other astronomical wonders while we watch for meteors. We will also provide a laser-pointer tour of summer constellations. Bring layers to add as it could get chilly, and please use a red light flashlight if possible.
The event starts at 8 p.m. and is free, although donations are certainly welcomed. And if you need help with your own telescope come at least an hour early and we will try to provide some assistance. FYI, btlt.org and southernmaineastronomers.net
