Each August as the Earth's annual orbit takes it through the remains of the comet Swift-Tuttle, we are treated to a dramatic show of meteors streaking through the sky called the Perseids. Named because they seem to radiate from the constellation Perseus, this meteor shower will peak this weekend through August 13th.
It is not uncommon to see up to 60 meteors an hour with the Perseids. The moon is in a waxing crescent phase. It will also be setting early in the evening.Read More |
