The Grand Rapids Public Museum and the Grand Rapids Amateur Astrological Association will host a Perseid Pajama Party at Cascade Township Park on August 12 and 13.
An all-new meteor shower is expected to happen Friday night and into early Saturday morning. Here is what you need to know about the Camelopardalid meteor shower:
The Camelopardalids meteor shower was discovered in 2004.
Saturday morning brings the first opportunity to see the Camelopardalids and Michigan is expected to be among the best areas in the world to see the display.
The Lyrid meteor shower peaked early Tuesday morning, but some had too many clouds to get a good look.
Clear skies are expected tonight in West Michigan, which will give us another opportunity to see the meteor shower while it's still going strong.
