Perseid Meteor Shower
PERSEID METEOR SHOWERS EXPECTED TO PEAK
the evening of Weds. AUGUST 12 through dawn on August 13, 2009 More about the Perseids (from http://www.seasky.org/astronomy/astronomy_calendar_2009.html:) "The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 meteors per hour at their peak. This year's peak occurs on the morning of August 12, but you may be able to see some meteors any time from July 23 - August 22. The waning gibbous moon will provide some interference in the early morning, so the best viewing will be in the evening before it rises. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Perseus. Look to the northeast after midnight."
