SUMMARY:Geminid Meteor Shower
DESCRIPTION:The Geminid meteors\, in addition to being part of one of the most reliable showers of the year\, are quite intriguing and were first noticed in the 1860s. For this one viewing period the public is welcome to arrive for sky viewing. Due to the light pollution problem here in the Baton Rouge area\, it is feasible to attempt viewing of this major shower only during its peak time. The waxing crescent Moon will be below the horizon.

SUMMARY:Science Academy: "Kites and Parachutes"

Cadets will investigate the history of kites and parachutes. [For ages eight to twelve. $5 per EBR-Parish Cadet; $6 per other-Parish Cadet.
