Picking up the newspaper this morning, it reminded me tonight is the peak of the annual Perseid meteor showers. You can look on skytonight.com to find out details. It’s expected to be not the most amazing show, as many of the fainter meteors will be drowned out by the light of the full moon, but if you find yourself outside tonight, you might give it a peek. I expect we will have a pretty decent crowd up at the observatory tonight.
