SUMMARY:Dark Sky Nights - Point Pelee National Park
DESCRIPTION:Explore the park after dark and experience the dark skies of Point Pelee National Park. You will have the opportunity to stay late and experience the park at night. Visitors can pick up a seasonal star chart at the front gate upon arrival. The park is open until midnight\, unless otherwise stated. \nDark Sky Viewing Tips: \n-Check the weather before heading out.\n-Take along a star chart or download a star gazing app\, and bring a pair of binoculars – or a telescope.\n-Use red cellophane over your flashlight. Red light is less obtrusive than traditional white light\, and helps to retain your night vision.\n-West Beach and the Visitor Centre parking lots are the best car-accessible stargazing locations.

SUMMARY:Ten Unsolved Mysteries About Bats
DESCRIPTION:Scientists have uncovered countless amazing facts about bats\, from the mechanics of how they fly to the physics of how they echolocate\, but each year new secrets are revealed\, and we learn more about what makes these creatures so enigmatic and beautiful. In this 40-minute presentation\, bat biologist and TV science expert Dan Riskin will reveal his ten favourite unanswered questions about bats. Dan will use photos\, videos\, sounds\, and stories to bring the biology of bats to life. This event is intended for people of all ages\, and will end (weather permitting) with a brief walk outside to search for bats using an ultrasonic bat detector. \nDan Riskin\, PhD\, is CTV’s Science and Technology Specialist\, and the former co-host of Daily Planet on Discovery. He has authored more than 25 scientific papers about bats\, specifically the biomechanics of how they move. Each week Dan publishes The Bat Signal\, a free newsletter featuring five quirky science stories and a trivia question. \nCost: Included in park admission

SUMMARY:Butterflies of the Night with Maurice Bottos
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will illustrate the incredible diversity of Ontario moths including pinned specimens from a variety of moth families. We will look at their unique behaviors\, attraction to light\, and dispel various myths that surround moths. The presentation will conclude outside with a light setup to attract and get up close with some of local moths found in Point Pelee. \nMaurice Bottos graduated from the University of Guelph in entomology in 1984. He was a Biology/Science teacher for the WECSSB for 31 years. Bottos has been studying moths for the past 30 years both locally and in the tropical regions of the world. Specifically\, he has been looking at how different abiotic factors seem to affect the movements of moths. \nCost included in admission.

SUMMARY:Perseid Meteor Shower with RASC
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever observed a ‘shooting star’? The Perseid Meteor Shower peaks on the night of Wednesday\, August 12. Come join us and members of the Windsor Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada on Wednesday\, August 12 for a day and night of special events in the park to celebrate our annual Perseid Meteor Shower Watch Party! Bring a blanket or folding chair and watch for the streaks of light as these space rocks rain down on the Earth’s atmosphere. As in the past\, volunteers from the astronomy club will have telescopes out on the West Beach after sunset to share views of many celestial objects with visitors! \nPlease note all outdoor observing activities are weather dependent. Telescopes can’t see through clouds! We hope you can join us for this special day of events! \nThe park will stay open all night August 12 to August 13 (open at 6 am August 12\, close at 10 pm August 13).
