Description
Join us for our annual celebration of the 1807 fall of the Easton meteorite on December 14, 2023!
Celebrate and learn about the world-famous meteorite that was observed by Eastonites in the sky before it landed on farmland here on this day 216 years ago. The event is known as the first documented observation of space stuff landing in North America. Chunks of our town meteor (officially and misleadingly known as the Weston Meteorite) are held in collections around the world, from the Yale Peabody Museum to the Vatican Observatory in Italy.
We’ll enjoy guided stargazing with astrophysics guy and JBHS alum Colin Holm-Hansen plus celestial canapes and cosmic cocktails for the occasion.
Please register by December 12.
