Perseid Meteor Shower



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.
