GLASGOW, Ky. (AP) — Barren River Lake State Resort Park is offering a chance to view the Perseids meteor shower away from city lights and learn more about the event this weekend at the park in south-central Kentucky.

The Louisville Astronomical Society will provide the astronomy program on Saturday. The event starts with a chance to make a shooting star craft at 4 p.m. CDT, followed by dinner in the Driftwood Restaurant and a literature and lecture session at 6:30 p.m. After the lecture, there’s a karaoke party, while stargazers wait for the sun to set.
