Watch the Perseid Meteor Shower Early This Year

[Winifred]

The Perseid Meteor Shower peaks this coming Friday and Saturday nights. Unfortunately, the moon is also full, so bright moonlight will inhibit viewing any but the very brightest meteors. Check out the sky in the two hours before dawn tonight and tomorrow night for early meteors. More info, and a timetable for various American cities here:

Well, true to form, it's cloudy in our neck of the woods. Hope others will be able to see the meteors.
