Stargazing with the S.o.S. - 2023!

The Perseids are one of the brighter meteor showers of the year. They occur every year between July 17 and August 24 and tend to peak around August 9-13. The peak viewing night for Las Vegas is August 12th - the visibility is listed as excellent this year, with up to 100 meteors per hour!

We will meet in Cold Creek starting at 7:00pm, giving time for everyone to arrive and get set up. Time and Date cites 8:34pm as the nauticle twilight. That's when we'll have opportunity to start seeing the sky show!

Last  year was a big success, so we plan to do it again! We will be providing:

Musical accompaniment

Firepit (don't worry - it's propane!)

Coffee

S'mores

Cold Creek is generally 10 degrees cooler than the valley; and can get even cooler once the sun goes down, so we suggest the following checklist:

Chairs

Jacket or blanket

Pack a picnic

Camera

It will be a great way to cool down and get a break from the valley heat! Come join the stargazers!
