And now for something completely different... let's take a shower... a meteor shower!

Yes! That's right. Tonight is the peak period for the annual Perseid Meteor Shower. After sunset, look up into the Northeast and catch a glimpse of a few falling stars. Those of you in or near cities might have a more difficult time due to the light pollution. And the full moon will also diminish the viewing ability somewhat. But, if you can find a nice isolated area (with a clear sky, of course), you may be able to see one or two per minute. Your chances of catching a glimpse of this annual wonder will improve later in the night and into the early morning hours. So take a look! Make a wish! And say a prayer!
