Meteors - The Threat from Above
What:
A large, bright meteor was recently seen streaking over the skies of Canada. Join us at Thomas More College for a brief discussion of meteors and their potential hazards. Learn what these objects are, where they come from, and what happens when objects impact the Earth. After the talk, join us at The Bank of Kentucky Observatory for a viewing of planets, stars, and more. If we are lucky, we may see a meteor!
This event is free and open to the public. Thomas More faculty and students will assist visitors in using the telescopes.
