There will be rain and too many clouds to see meteors on the 18 so we are shifting the date to December 13. We will turn the lights off in the African Parking lot from 7 until 10 p.m. to look for shooting stars. Same rules apply, just on a different night.
Pack
some blankets, bundle up and turn into the African Parking Lot to watch
some shooting stars with us.
We will have hot chocolate and cookies
available to warm you as you search for meteors showering down from Leo, the great lion.
You must pre-registered to attend. (We need to know how much hot chocolate to make!)
Cost is $5 unless you bring a telescope and promise to let other
visitors sneak a peek through your lenses. Telescope toters get in
free.
We will open
the parking lot to registered meteor watchers from 7 - 10 p.m on
November 18. The Zoo will be turning out the lights around the parking
lot to make it darker than usual, so be sure to pack a flashlight (and cover the light with red cellophane) to use in walking around.
If it is raining, we will cancel. If the skies are clear, we will meet you in the African Parking Lot, down near the entrance.
To register call Karen Powell (336-879-7250)
