Fire in the sky
Tonight (Aug. 12) is expected to be one of the best nights to view the Perseid Meteor Shower. This meteor shower occurs annually when the debris from the passing comet Swift-Tuttle hits the atmosphere. NASA likens it to "celestial bug splatter." The general direction to face will be east around midnight. Peaks are expected around midnight and 4:30 a.m., but you might want to check it out sooner, before the bright moon interferes. If you can't make it tonight, keep watching. This predictable meteor shower will continue for several days.
