The Perseids Are Coming!

Here's a heads up: the  Perseids -- probably the best meteor shower for viewing from the USA -- will peak on August 12 -- after 9:30 pm, ET.  The show should get even better in the wee morning  hours of the 13th.

If the weather cooperates, I'll be outside staring at the sky -- for a while at least. At 1 or 2 in the morning, even a shooting star every minute can't keep me awake for long.

Still, it can be a pretty amazing sight. And if you make a wish on each falling star. . .
