Hi Everyone! This is called "The Perseid Meteor Shower" due to its proximity to the celestial sign of Perseus. Date: August 11-12 (Early Morning of August 12th) Location: N.West Time: 2am-5am (No matter where you live in N.America) Comments: This is an especialy exciting shower because the moon will not be around and drowing out the light of the falling stars. For more detailed info, check out this site! A meteor streaks across the sky over Death Valley, California, in an artist's painting. Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, the Perseid meteor shower is expected to give a spectacular display.

very cool, I'll be up then
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

The shower peaks that day. It doesn't mean that You won't see Perseid meteors shooting in the sky a day before or day after

I've been watching it since I was a kid. I remember laying out in the city park watching it with family and friends.
Always great free fun.

Every other year I go to this local astronomy club star party which takes place every year around the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. Some of the greatest nights of my life

That's true, you can even probably see some action already, but the climax of the action will be on the date posted
-------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- When it comes I'll know, I know Just take my clothes and leave And I'll be gone
