Perseus Information The Constellation Perseus, named for a superhero of Greek mythology, has a lot going for it: many bright and easily spotted stars, a superlative meteor shower, and fascinating double star cluster. The Perseids meteor shower is a dazzling celestial event that graces our skies. Every August, when Earth passes through this debris trail, the particles enter our atmosphere and burn up upon entry, creating a spectacular meteor shower. These shooting stars appear to originate from the constellation Perseus, hence the name "Perseids." In Greek mythology, Perseus was a hero known for his daring exploits. This hero rescued captive Andromeda, daughter of Cassiopeia and Cepheus, from the predatory sea monster Cetus. As our planet Earth orbits the Sun, we cross the path of Comet Swift-Tuttle, a comet that journeys through our solar system. As the comet travels, it leaves behind a trail of debris, tiny particles and fragments of ice and rock. The Perseids meteor shower has been observed for thousands of years, with records dating back to ancient civilizations. People have marveled at the celestial display, often making wishes upon the shooting stars as they streak across the night sky. Today, the Perseids meteor shower continues to captivate stargazers around the world. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Perseus, the hero of Greek mythology, and the awe-inspiring beauty of our universe. So, when August arrives, let us come together to look up and witness this celestial spectacle, perhaps making a wish and connecting us to ancient legends and the wonders of the cosmos.

JAR Senior Club (JSC), the first senior club in San Diego dedicated to bringing together seniors and local community resources at no cost to individuals 64 years old and older, celebrates Healthy Aging Month with the JSC Wellness Event on Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will feature a DJ, senior talent show, games, health education and more. JSC expects to draw over 150 attendees at 2340 East 8th St. National City CA 91950. Admission is free to all senior community members. Founded by local San Diegan Angel Ogapong, JSC aims to provide seniors with a sense of belonging through community, engagement, education and health and wellness. San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan will speak on the Safe Seniors Program against elder abuse at the event. National City Mayor Ron Morrison and Chula Vista Mayor John McCann will also be present to discuss the importance of proactively engaging seniors. “I was the primary caretaker for my grandparents, and as they got older I saw how much their daily lives and overall health were affected by lack of engagement and community,” said JSC Founder Angel Ogapong. “I decided to launch JSC to alleviate the disengagement seniors were experiencing while educating them about free resources that are not only available to them, but created for them.” JSC also helps seniors navigate through Medicare benefits and bridge access to additional resources that they may not know are available to them at no cost. Medicare health insurance representatives will be present to educate seniors about benefiting programs. Community partners American Medical Response and SuiteCare Pharmacy will provide free healthcare screenings for attendees. Supporting nonprofits including Filipino American Chamber of Commerce Greater San Diego and the National Latina Business Women Association San Diego will be at the event.
