Perseids :) The Perseid Meteor Shower is here! I think I'm going to stay up Friday to watch it :). I've at least glanced at the Perseid's just about every year since the seventh grade. One year I shared my binoculars with a total stranger at my neighbors party. Two other years my other neighbor and I used his telescope to watch them. Then for most of the remaining ones I tended to notice them when I was up to early or out too late.
Not this year. The extreme range of the meteor shower is actually from the end of July to the end of August, so if I don't see them Friday I may stay up late enough to watch them from Murray next week. I don't know that I could get far enough from the light pollution, but anything's possible.  ¶   0 comments
