EVENTS:
August
Events:
The Northern Hemisphere is about
to experience the peak of the Perseid
meteor shower. The Earth enters
the Perseid meteor stream in late
July, when a night-sky observer
can expect to see about five meteors
an hour. Right
now (08/08/08), it's possible to
see about 15 meteors per hour. By
August 12, the peak of the shower,
there will be more than 60 meteors
an hour. If you
can get to a reasonably dark location,
it will be a spectacular show. NASA
says:
"Serious meteor hunters will
begin their watch early, on Monday
evening, August 11th, around 9PM
when Perseus first rises in the
northeast. This is the time to look
for Perseid Earthgrazers--meteors
that approach from the horizon and
skim the atmosphere overhead like
a stone skipping across the surface
of a pond."
You can do that here!
