HOWDY STAR JOCKEYS, TRACE HERE!

THIS WEEK THE PERSEID METEOR SHOWER# PEAKS, AND BECAUSE IT’S A NEW MOON THIS IS POTENTIALLY A GOOD YEAR TO# SPOT SOME SPACE DEBRIS HITTING OUR PLANETARY WIND SHIELD - GET IT?

BECAUSE THE# ATMOSPHERE IS.

AIR?

OKAY LEMME SHOW YOU.

FIND A DARK SPOT AND LOOK NORTH# AT TWO AM.

THE TWO STARS ON THE END OF THE BIG DIPPER POINT TO POLARIS,# THE NORTH STAR, IN THE LITTLE DIPPER.

USE THE JOINT OF THE LIL’ DIPPERS# HANDLE AND POLARIS AT ITS END TO POINT TO MIRFAK IN PERSEUS!

THE# PERSEIDS RADIATE FROM JUST ABOVE THERE!

THESE METEORS ARE LEFTOVER# DEBRIS OF COMET SWIFT-TUTTLE.

SEE, COMETS ARE ALWAYS LOSING BITS OF# THEMSELVES AS THEY ORBIT THE SUN - RELATABLE.

WHEN EARTH FLIES THROUGH THE THICKEST# CLOUDS OF DUST AND DEBRIS, THAT COMETARY LITTER BURNS UP IN OUR ATMOSPHERE!# THE COMET LAST PASSED EARTH IN 1992.

THE SHOWER WILL GO ALL WEEK.

THE BEST NIGHTS# TO WATCH ARE AUGUST TWELFTH AND THIRTEENTH.

.KEEP LOOKIN’ UP!
