Geminids Meteor Shower Viewing

Friday, December 14, 2012
7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.


Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower
435 Confluence Dr.
Hartford, IL 62048

Come to the Tower to witness the Geminids Meteor Shower with astronomer Steve Sands. The Gemininds shower offers slower moving meteors, which will make them easier to view. The shower becomes larger each year with some seeing over 100 meteors per hour.

Steve Sands, a member of the St. Louis Astronomical Society, will be giving information about the night sky and will stick around during the shower for any questions.

Since this event is better seen outside, please dress accordingly and bring blankets. Hot chocolate will be available for guests.

Tickets are $5, which includes your tour ticket up into the tower. Reservations are not required.
