Every year thousands of shooting stars amaze stargazers around the world. You can have a special evening of wonder as learning about the Leonid meteor shower and the comet that started it all at the SC Botanical Gardens in Clemson on November 17th from 7 to 9PM. The dark skies provided by the new moon should provide excellent viewing conditions, but remember there are no guarantees. Clemson University professors and curators will guide you in viewing with and without a telescope, counting and measuring meteors, as well as helping you understand what you're seeing. Bring a notebook & pen, blankets or chairs, and dress for the weather! You can leave your flashlight at home since it will not be needed. There will be light refreshments provided. The fee for the event is $10/family (up to 5). Meet at the Kelly Meadow at the SC Botanical Garden.
