If the weather cooperates, after the program, Brian Sivill and Matt Anderson will take the group for a walk to tennis courts OR an adjacent open field both about 5 minutes from Mallet Lodge, for observing. Michael Sibbernsen will join you two after completing an earlier program in Omaha.

Note to Brian and Matt: You will probably want to arrive early enough to check out the area and set up equipment. You may want to bring your own power cord, HDMI cords, and any other adaptors. The program should last around 30 minutes to 45 at most. If cloudy out, this would be the conclusion of our activities.

Note to BOO Volunteers– We could definitely use 1-3 more observation-capable astronomers to help with this. Please contact Matt or Michael if you can help out.

CANCELED - Perseid Meteor Shower Late Night Star Party
2024-08-10 22:00 - 2024-08-11 02:00 | Branched Oak Observatory, 14300 NW 98th Street, Raymond, NE, 68428, United States
NOTICE: After looking at the weather forecast for tonight, we have made the difficult decision to go ahead and CANCEL the Late Night Perseid Meteor Shower Star Party. Meteor Shower observations require the very best of sky conditions and tonight’s cloud cover and low transparency predictions simply do not provide that. Further, we will be changing our Summer Hours from 11PM to 10PM tonight for INDOOR activities for those who would still care to stop out.
Perseid Meteor Shower LATE NIGHT Star Party

The Perseid Meteor Shower is going to be a good one this year thanks to a moonless night (during our observing hours). Although the actual “high point” of the shower is early the following week, our weekend star party should yield a good number of shooting stars.

For this event, we will combine our regular Summer Hours activities starting before the Sun goes down, with an extension into the early morning hours when the odds for shooting stars will be greatest. Visit anytime between 7PM and 2AM and stay as long as you want.

Between 7 and 9PM, families can enjoy activities in the classroom, and tours of our grounds. Observing will begin around 9PM, with visitors having the opportunity to see galaxies, nebulae, and star-clusters through our different telescopes. As the evening progresses, the radiant (the apparent origin) of the meteor shower will rise higher in the northeast increasing the probability of additional and brighter meteors.

– The event will begin Saturday evening at 7pm, and the sky-park will remain open until 2am Sunday morning.

– Feel free to come anytime between 7pm and 2am (the later the better for meteor hunting). Lay back, relax, and stay as long as you would like.

– Bring your own lawn chairs, Zero-g chairs, blankets, pillows, etc. Bring your own cooler, refreshments and snacks.

– Although the meteors will be the “(shooting) star of the show”, we will have our various telescopes trained on dozens of beautiful objects throughout the evening.

This event is weather-dependent. If the skies are not cooperating, observations may be difficult or impossible. PLEASE check our Facebook Page PRIOR to visiting for potential cancelations and general updates regarding the event.

Background:

The Perseid Meteor Shower is caused when the Earth passes through the debris leftover by Comet Swift-Tuttle. These tiny remnants enter Earth’s atmosphere and produce a beautiful light show. The high point of the meteor shower is predicted between the 11th and the 14th of August and may yield as many as 90 meteors per hour. The “radiant” for the shower is in the constellation of Perseus found low in the northeast. Perseus is the Greek hero who flew in on the back of Pegasus and dispatched the Kraken sea monster using the head of Medusa and saving Andromeda the Princess.
