Join RASC Montreal and RASC Ottawa for a jointly-hosted talk on the Perseids Meteor Shower

The annual Perseids Meteor Shower peaks in mid-August and this year falls during a waning Moon, so if the August weather is promising it's a great chance to step outdoors and take in Nature's Fireworks. To help prepare for the show, the RASC (Royal Astronomical Society of Canada) Montreal and Ottawa Centres invite you to a free public zoom event on Saturday, August 8th at 8pm EDT. Presenters from both centres will share information about the origin of this meteor shower, a bit about the actual shooting stars we see, how to observe and hopefully capture some fantastic photographs of this annual night sky event.

Following the COVID-19 Pandemic measures, we are unable to offer a viewing session for nighttime observing. We invite you to download Zoom to join our public events on your computer, tablet or cell phone, or use one of the call-in numbers to attend by voice-only.
