perseid meteor shower

Welcome August skywatchers, there are two things we can always count on, the August heat, and the Perseid Meteor Shower.  We already have one, the other is peaking this weekend.

Two things you can always count on in August, it's hot and the Perseid Meteor Shower.  The nice thing is there are no worries about masks or social distancing. Just step outside, chew off a piece of air, relax and watch the shooting stars. One of the great things about his year is the moon should only be about 5% full, known as a "Waxing Cresent Moon" and will set at 10:21 PM, which mean

August may be hot but one of the great things that returns this time of year is the Perseid Meteor Shower, if you like gazing at the stars and watching meteor showers, this Thursday and Friday will be the best time to watch.

I know it's hot, but if you like gazing at the stars and watching meteor showers, this may be the best weekend for a shooting star camp-out of the year!
