The Town of Fountain Hills, along with Night Sky Tourist Star Dudes and the Fountain Hills Dark Sky Association, have announced a meteor shower watch party for the upcoming Geminids meteor shower from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 12 at Four Peaks Park.

Guests will be treated to an evening of stargazing, according to a press release, as the Geminids, a prolific meteor shower caused by the object 3,200 Phaethon thought to be an Apollo asteroid with a “rock comet” orbit, streak across the night sky.

NASA Solar System Ambassador Ted Blank will give a presentation on meteors, and Night Sky Tourist founder Vicky Derksen will share cultural views about meteors, and the Star Dudes will take guests deep into space with telescopes aimed at Jupiter, Saturn, the moon, and the Orion Nebula.

To keep guests warm, the Swette Ice Cream Truck will be on site with hot chocolate bombs and other treats, the release continued. Stargazers are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets, warm layers to be comfortable during the cool night.
