Geminid Meteor Shower

Be looking up at the Highland Road Park Observatory, when staff train their telescopes skyward for the Geminids—one of two major annual meteor showers to be visible in the northern hemisphere. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets and settle in for some earthshattering (hopefully not literally) stargazing. 9 pm–1 am. Free. (225) 769-9948. Details at the Highland Road Park Observatory Facebook page.
