Perseid meteor shower

Oregon · 08-11-2008, 11:33 PM

It's that time of year, the Perseid meteor shower is taking place, tear yourself away from 1ADDICTS, go look at the show. Viewing is best in rural locales but available in metro areas as well. The fun really starts right after the moon sets. So, go have some fun...

Saw a good one last evening about midnight, the streak covered about 5% of the sky. Awesome.
