From: Keane on 12 Aug 2010 14:03 If you're not reading this on August 12th, then you're too late. Go on to the next message... ;-) The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight. At max, they say there'll be (on the average) one every minute. (Up to 80 an hour if you're in a dark area.) Absolute peak will be between midnight and dawn, but meteors have been seen for a week now, so you still might see a few after sunset. And for the first time that I can remember, the skies are supposed to be clear here. I might have to go out to someplace dark. Too much light pollution here. So if you wish upon that falling star tonight, you'll know why...

This is the first time I can remember that it isn't going to be cloudy here. Of course, I'm taking the word of the weather service. They're sometimes wrong.

Of course! It's my birthday and they always send the falling stars on my birthday. Last year in the Galapagos they were non existent. Not a one and we stayed up til midnight. But the Milky Way horizon to horizon was gift enough. Where we live, we have trees and clouds and maybe rain and I am pooped. I hope whoever sees them sees magnificent ones! Lisa |
