August 12 promises to me an exciting night! The Perseid meteor showers should be one of the best in years. Stargazer should see hundreds of green-tinted meteors streaking across the night sky.

The Perseids occure every August 12th when the earth passes through the debrise wake of comet Swift-Tuttle, which passed through the solar system in 1610.Everytime you see a meteor, you will be sighting a chuck of an ancient comet plunging to the earth!

Don't miss it! Make a party of it!
