Meteor Shower Magic 🌠
Look up, because the night sky is putting on a spectacular show! At this month’s Junior AstronOMy Club, we’ll explore the fascinating world of meteor showers and discover what causes these dazzling streaks of light across our skies. We’ll take a closer look at two of the year’s exciting showers—the Orionids, peaking around 21 October, and the spectacular Geminids, reaching their peak around 14 December.
Then to top it off, we will be creating our own meteor shower experiment!
