Mars and the Perseid Meteor Shower

Possibly the first clear Wednesday night and no Astronomy in the Park! We'll be back next week, but in the meantime, have a look at Mars...and find somewhere dark to watch the meteor shower this weekend!

Top 10 Tips for Watching 2018's Perseid meteors

July Meeting

The Lowcountry Stargazers holds its monthly meetings on the first Thursday of the month at 7pm at Atlantic Aviation - CHS, 6060 South Aviation Ave, North Charleston, SC 29406. This may be a better representation of our meeting location. Because of Independence Day, our July meeting is on the second Thursday.

So, Thursday, July 12th, we will have our monthly meeting. And if you're like me and can't get enough of last year's solar eclipse, you'll love this month's presentation - 2017 Eclipse Across America Through the Eyes of NASA Star Gazers.

I hope you can join us!

The Lowcountry Stargazers will hold their next meeting on Thursday, June 7th at 7pm, at Atlantic Aviation, 6060 S Aviation Ave, North Charleston, SC 29406. This may be a better representation of our meeting location.

Event(s) Cancelled This Week

Due to the weather, we have to cancel Astronomy in the Park tonight. We're still planning on our public event on Saturday, but weather does not look promising. We will let you know. The good news is - you have many more chances to come see us at Brittlebank and our dark sky site!
