Perseids Meteor Shower Tonight

The Perseids meteor shower will peak this evening in what should be a great show for meteor lovers.  This year the moon is out of the picture (new moon occurs on Aug 14th) and the skies are expected to be clear over much of the country.



You should be able to see about 1 meteor a minute. Look to the NE between midnight and 4:00 AM for the best viewing.

Details on the event can be found at Perseids Meteor Shower
