“This year 2010, the Perseid peak activity is expected over the night of Thursday 12th to Friday 13th 2010. And with no moonlight to speak of (the Moon is new on August 10th), conditions should be very favorable, weather permitting.”
I’m no astronomer, not even a bad one, but that doesn’t keep one from enjoying streaky bits across the night sky. Got lawnchair?
Got Cot? (less neck strain when lying down IMO) I might be willing to go out and look. I have one of the Off Clip on Fans with mosquito repellent. Tough to enjoy the meteors when mosquitoes are buzzing around your ears and biting the exposed parts. I usually prefer the Leonids in November.
Its pouring here right now. Last time we tried, my son laid down and a few cars stopped and asked if he was okay. I said, “Meteor showers!”
