‘Perseids’ (the official name for shooting stars) are in a group of meteors that “collide” with Earth’s orbit once a year. The collision becomes spectacular when they go up in flames during re-entry, far up in the sky, and look just like “shooting stars”. All this beauty is hard to see from the windows and rooftops in northern Israel, because of the clouds that come from the sea and because of the light that comes from the roads, houses and cities. Thanks to the high altitude of Mitzpe Ramon and the clear desert skies, you can enjoy a concert like no other, even without special equipment. Just lie on your back and make a wish!
Entry to the event is free and open to the public. The activity takes place in cooperation with the Astronomical club of Tel Aviv University, First Science Foundation, together with the Israeli Astronomical Association and the Israel Space Agency. Guests are invited to stay in the area and enjoy other events in the Spice Route. Please bring mats and warm clothes!
