The Stars at Night are Big and Bright…
Enjoy one of the best meteor showers all year!
The Perseid Meteor Shower ~ Tonight (Wed. 8/12)
Take in the Perseid Meteor Shower that will sparkle the big Texas sky tonight, with a star-gazing party from the comfort of your own backyard (or for the best view, go to the edge of town to get away from the city lights).
What: The Perseids Shower is one of the best meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60 meteors per hour at the peak (which takes place tonight between 11pm and the wee hours of 4am). You will be able to see this without aid of a telescope (but perhaps not without coffee). :) Look up to the NorthEast.
Where: From the comfort of your own backyard OR head to the outskirts of town, away from city lights for best Perseids viewing.
When: Tonight, August 12 between 11pm-4am is the peak of the meteor shower show. If interrupting your sleep tonight is not in the plans…not to worry…you should be able to see Perseids meteor activity from now until August 22 (same “bat time, same bat channel”).

And for the serous Perseid viewer, follow the Perseid Meteor shower on Twitter with a group of “intrepid stargazers” in the UK, the Newbury Astronomical Society; they will be holding the first worldwide Twitter “meteor star gazing party”.
Enjoy! :)
