Clifftop to host a meteor shower viewing on Saturday

Clifftop will be holding a meteor shower viewing on Saturday, Aug. 12 from 8 p.m. to midnight at the Paul Wightman Subterranean Nature Preserve (PWSNP).

Located at 3325 G Road, Fults, there is lots of dark sky over PWSNP providing wonderful conditions for stargazing and a chance to glimpse a meteor. This nighttime outing is set during the Perseid Meteor Shower.

Hosts for this event will be Dr. Michael J. Krawczynski, assistant professor in the department of earth and planetary sciences and Dr. Ryan Ogliore, assistant professor in the department of physics at Washington University in St. Louis.
