Perseid Meteor Shower is an annual occurrence with the peak night to witness " shooting stars " coming August 12th. The viewing this year should be good since the moon will be setting in the sky around 10 pm, giving us a moonless sky which is perfect for star gazing. Hopefully the sky is clear after midnight on Thursday so those out there still hiking the trail can see Mother Natures' light show.
Does anyone have a favorite place you like to go to watch meteor showers or just go to star gaze ?
Here's a website for viewing tips and future meteor events.
