events
Below, you'll find a full lineup of our upcoming events, from community gatherings to telescope nights and educational workshops. We've also included major astronomical events you won't want to miss—like meteor showers, lunar eclipses, and planetary alignments.
Perseid Meteor Showers
The Earth entered the debris field left behind by the Swift-Tuttle comet as it orbits the Sub meaning the Perseid Meteor has begun. Peak viewing of the meteor shower will be August 12-23, 2025.
Sturgeon Moon
The Sturgeon Moon is the name given to the full moon that occurs in August. It gets its name from Native American and fishing traditions, as this was the time of year when sturgeon fish were most plentiful and easiest to catch in the Great Lakes and other North American waters. The moon often appears larger and brighter in the summer night sky, making it a beautiful sight to enjoy.
