Every year in August, Earth passes through a cloud of dust
released off the Comet Swift-Tuttle. Then, Perseid meteoroids will hit
our atmosphere at break-neck speeds. This produces the annual light show that
is a favorite of many sky watchers. The best viewing will be on August 12 and
13. So, grab a comfortable lawn chair,
maybe a blanket, and find a location away from the city lights to see the best
show. This year, experts are saying the
shower could produce as many as 100 viewings per hour.
It is our pleasure to provide this information. If you are traveling to the Washington DC area for an extended stay or are in need of military housing Washington DC please consider Stay Attache.
