NIGHT OF THE PERSEIDS at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth

NIGHT OF THE PERSEIDS!

8:30 p.m. Thursday, August 12, 2010

The Maine Audubon Society and the USM Southworth Planetarium invite you to an enchanting evening of planet watching, meteor observing and Universe admiring on Gilsland Farm in Falmouth. Bring your friends, family, binoculars and sleeping bags onto the open meadow to observe our cosmos in action! August 12th is the peak of the Perseids, one of the year's most active meteor showers. This year promises to be quite a favorable one for the Perseids and you can experience this shooting star spectacle for yourself. If the mere sight of meteors isn't enough incentive, you can also see the thin crescent moon and the planetary trio of Venus, Mars and Saturn over in the west. Astronomers from the Southworth Planetarium and local astronomy societies will be on hand to guide you through the sky and answer any questions you have.

About Falmouth Maine

Falmouth is a popular residential community stretching along the scenic Casco Bay. A vibrant, independent town in southern Maine, Falmouth has small population of approximately 17,000 residents and covers approximately 32 square miles from the Maine coastline to rural areas further west.

Neighboring towns around Falmouth include Cumberland, Westbrook and Windham and is located just 10 minutes north of downtown Portland. Best known as a sailing and boating center, Falmouth has an upscale waterfront community which offers one of the largest anchorages in Maine. Many people enjoy access to the Falmouth town harbor and its public beach and moorings; others enjoy the excitement of biking, jogging and cross-country skiing from their backyards. Falmouth residents also enjoy the benefits of schools which are consistently ranked among the best in Maine.

Falmouth offers a wide range of housing opportunities; from waterfront estates on Falmouth Foreside to recently built homes in private country clubs; from vintage homes on large wooded lots to stately sea captain's homes along the coast. There are still remaining rural open spaces which local officials work to keep intact for future generations to enjoy. Contact me if you are nterested in Falmouth Maine real estate!
