"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." Psalms 19:1
Next week, Earth will be passing through the historic trail left by Comet Tempel-Tuttle. This will result in a much larger than normal concentration of meteors, producing dozens, perhaps as many as 100 meteors per hour. Brother Landbeck is planning on taking a field trip from our house 150 yards southwest into the soccer field to sit and watch them at 4:30am the morning of Tuesday, November 17. If any students are interested, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Few things are as delicate and inspiring as a shooting star. To see dozens in a row is not something to miss.
Please RSVP and let us know if your student will be attending. We have a few camp chairs and blankets to share. And obviously, results aren't guaranteed, and will depend on cloud cover that night as well.
There will be food in the field. Hot chocolate, donuts...something yummy.
