THIS COMBO COULD MAKE FOR A GREAT SHOW.
HIT THE DARKNESS AROUND 2 AM ON AUGUST 12 AND LOOK NORTHEAST.
THE SHOWER SHOULD PEAK AROUND 3AM WITH AS MANY AS FIFTY TO ONE-HUNDRED METEORS PER HOUR!
IF YOU DRAW A LINE DOWN FROM CASSIOPEIA'’’S W TO CAPELLA IN AURIGA, THEN ANOTHER ACROSS FROM THE NORTH STAR, POLARIS TO MIRFAK IN PERSEUS YOU'’’LL WANT TO LOOK IN THAT GIANT X BUT LET YOURSELF GET DISTRACTED BY JUPITER ON YOUR RIGHT, BECAUSE IT'’’S GOING TO BE SUPER BRIGHT.
THE PERSEIDS ARE MADE OF DEBRIS LEFT IN OUR PLANET'’’S ORBITAL PATH FROM THE COMET SWIFT-TUTTLE THEY'’’RE LIKE BUGS HITTING OUR SPACESHIP'’’S ATMOSPHERIC WINDSHIELD.
I LOVE METEOR SHOWERS, IT'’’S A GREAT EXCUSE TO STAY UP LATE AND LAY OUTSIDE ON A BLANKET WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
ENJOY THE NIGHT, AND KEEP LOOKIN'’’ UP!
