TO FIND THE SHOW HIT THE SKY BETWEEN TWO AND FOUR AM ON AUGUST 11 OR 12 AND LOOK EAST.
IF CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT, THE SHOWER CAN PEAK AT AN INCREDIBLE FIFTY TO ONE-HUNDRED METEORS PER HOUR!
MORE THAN TWO A MINUTE!
AND WITH THE NEW MOON YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONE.
THE PERSEIDS SHOWER EVERY YEAR AS EARTH PASES THROUGH THE DEBRIS LEFT FROM THE COMET SWIFT-TUTTLE.
THEY APPEAR TO EMANATE FROM THE CONSTELLATION PERSEUS -- JUST BELOW THE CHAIR OF CASSIOPEIA.
THIS YEAR THE NEW MOON WILL MEAN THERE SHOULD BE A GREAT VIEW!
I LOVE METEOR SHOWERS, IT S A GREAT EXCUSE TO STAY UP LATE AND LAY OUTSIDE ON A BLANKET WITH YOUR FAMILY OR FRIENDS.
ENJOY THE NIGHT, AND KEEP LOOKIN UP!
