Ever looked up and wondered if that thing in the sky was a planet or star? Is that cluster of stars a bear or a dipper? Come celebrate the peak of the Geminids Meteor Shower while learning the basics of stargazing with Dr. Jean Perkins, an astronomer with the Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy (MIRA). Dr. Perkins will introduce the basics of star gazing: the motions of celestial bodies in the sky, how to find your way around the night sky, and some easy to find objects with your binoculars.
