SUMMARY:Baton Rouge Astronomical Society Meeting
DESCRIPTION:For over four decades BRAS has educated countless numbers of citizens in the joys of planetary and deep-sky gazing\, the perils of light pollution and factors to consider when buying a pair of binoculars or a telescope. Over the years BRAS members have constructed their own telescopes and photographic platforms; and imaged comets\, earned observing certificates and discovered asteroids. Anyone interested in learning more about BRAS is invited to attend. This month\, Tabby Boyajian will discuss the current status of the research concerning Tabby’s Star. [For ages fourteen and older.

SUMMARY:Perseid Meteor Shower
DESCRIPTION:The Perseids are one of the major meteor showers of the year\, caused by debris left from the passings of Comet Swift-Tuttle. Come learn about meteors and let’s see if we can spot some “earthgrazers”. Although telescopes aren’t needed for the Perseids\, we’ll have a telescope available until midnight for leisurely gazing at other celestial objects. Look carefully and don’t take your eyes off the skies; Perseid meteoroids enter our atmosphere at about sixty kilometers per second! If you’re lucky\, you may see a fireball…. [For ages six and older. No admission fee. This event is a single four-hour viewing session.]
