The most anticipated and brightest astronomical event is already this Friday, August 11, 2023!
🚀 One of the brightest and most colorful astronomical events of this summer is the Perseid meteor shower, formed as a result of the Earth's passage through a trail of dust particles released by the Swift-Tuttle comet. This weekend, the meteor shower will reach its maximum. The flow density is expected to be about 100 meteors per hour! We plan to observe this amazing phenomenon on our astrofield.
We invite you to the coolest astronomical project in the Orenburg region, so that together we can watch hundreds of meteors burning in the night sky! We will also have the opportunity to observe various astronomical objects through telescopes. It will be an unforgettable evening in the open air!
