The Battle Point Astronomical Association presents the planetarium show “Scariest Storms of the Solar System” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14 at the Edwin E. Ritchie Observatory at Battle Point Park.

Recent hurricanes have devastated parts of the U.S. and the Caribbean, but how do these storm systems compare to the monster storms on the other worlds? Join astronomer Dave Fong to find out.

Admission is free to association members; $2 donation suggested for nonmembers, $5 for families.

BPAstro Kids will discover all about asteroid impacts with the “Death Smash” with Dr. Erica at 4 and 5 p.m.

If the sky is clear, astronomers will be on hand with telescopes for public star-gazing afterward.

The BPAA is a nonprofit amateur astronomy organization that operates the Ritchie Observatory and John H. Rudolph Planetarium in the Helix House at Battle Point Park.
