Look To The Stars

August 12th, 2007

I’m posting this as I head out to the back deck to take in a few shooting stars.

Looking for some dirt-cheap entertainment tonight? Look up in the sky.

The annual Perseids meteor shower is caused by flying dirt, tiny meteors that will hit Earth’s atmosphere at high speed and then leave streaks as they burn up.

Some folks call them meteor showers. Others call them shooting stars. But astronomy experts agree that this weekend’s show should be extra special because there will be little or no moonlight to wash out the display.

The Perseids always peak in mid-August but are visible for several days. This year, the optimal viewing hours will be late tonight and early Monday, when there’s a new moon or no moon.

The Perseids should also be visible Monday night, although the shooting stars won’t be as abundant.

Pretty awesome schtuff if you ask me.
