EYES TO THE SKY AUGUST 12TH.
The great Perseids Meteor shower is just 7 days away so polish your telescopes and get your late night beverages ready. This shower is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) meteor shower around so it would be foolish to miss it. The show starts on the 12th around midnight but the show stopper will be at 4am when the earth passes through a field of comet dust left by Comet Swift-Tuttle back in 1610. WOW! The thick filament concentration will mean and estimated 200 meteors per hour may be visible. If you know what’s good for you grab your lawn chair, head to a dark park and sip a cold one while watching meteor after meteor light up the sky. Enjoy!
