METEOR SHOWER GAZING & LEARNING
Every year thousands of shooting stars amaze stargazers around the world. Join us for a special evening of wonder as we learn about the
Leonid meteor shower and the comet that started it all. The dark skies provided by the new moon should provide excellent viewing conditions, but remember there are no guarantees. Clemson University professors and curators will guide you in viewing with and without a telescope, counting and measuring meteors, as well as helping you understand what you're seeing. Bring a notebook & pen, blankets or chairs, and dress for the weather - flashlights are not needed. We will provide light refreshments.
Fee: $10 per family (up to 5) ($7 for members & volunteers)
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Location: The Kelly Meadow

THE BASICS OF GEMSTONE PURCHASING
Purchasing diamonds and colored gemstones can be confusing and expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Museum curators can teach you what to look for in a gemstone, what important questions to ask a jeweler, and what to avoid when you head to the stores for holiday shopping. Come learn about the four C's of diamond classification, how to spot synthetic stones, and common techniques used to enhance color. Note: Curators will not be able to appraise personal property.
Fee: $15 per person ($12 members & volunteers)
Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Bob Campbell Geology Museum
