A Strong Chance of Showers

PHOTO BY DAVID KORCHINWe always like to post the upcoming seasons celestial events. Living in Brooklyn most of the year we marvel at the sky overhead when we’re out on the North Fork. And to witness one of nature’s grand events is worth planning a weekend around. Here’s the list of the strongest upcoming Meteor Showers. Dates indicate peak viewing times.

April 22: Lyrids
May 6: Eta Aquarids
June 7: Arietids
July 28: South Delta Aquarids
August 12: Perseids

Go to Custer Institute, our very own observatory here on the North Fork, for more viewing details or better yet, to peer through their high-powered telescopes.
