Meteor shower tonite
The moon, this morning.Catch the Sky Falling: Peter Jenniskens, Meteor Storm Chaser
The Perseid meteor shower peaks this weekend. The best night to go out is Saturday night, August 12/13. The first hour of the night will be dark and a small number of Perseids will streak long tracks when they fall into Earth’s atmosphere at a grazing angle. Later in the night, the Moon will light up the sky; it’s just a few days past full Moon this weekend...I hope I can remember. It sounds like a good show... better than TV.
