Geminid Meteor Shower Public Viewing at the E.S. Fox Observatory
Don’t miss one of the most spectacular sky events of the year! Join members of the Bluewater Astronomical Society for a special Geminid Meteor Shower Viewing Night at the E.S. Fox Observatory, located at the Bluewater Outdoor Education Centre near Oliphant.
The Geminids are famous for producing bright, slow-moving meteors — often as many as 50 to 100 per hour under dark skies. This year’s event promises excellent viewing conditions from our dark-sky location. Bring a lawn chair, dress warmly, and prepare to be amazed as meteors streak across the winter sky!
☄️ Date: Friday, December 13, 2025 (peak Geminid activity)
🕗 Time: 7:00 PM – Late (weather permitting)
📍 Location: E.S. Fox Observatory, Bluewater Outdoor Education Centre, 3092 Bruce Road 13, near Oliphant
💲 Admission: Free — donations welcome
In addition to meteor watching, BAS members will have telescopes set up for you to view star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies while waiting for the next shooting star.
✨ Bring family, friends, and your sense of wonder — this is a night you’ll never forget!
