Perseids Shower Underway

Written by The Night Sky Guy on August 12, 2010 – 10:35 am -

Get set for a great show! Skywatchers worldwide are reporting that the pre game show night before the peak,  meteor counts were averaging up to 40 per hour from some locales. These higher numbers were probably from observers in dark locations away from the light pollution of cities, and so many of the fainter metoers were visible. But still this bodes well for even those caught within city limits – tonight’s main act peak numbers should at least double! Check out the worldwide Perseid meteor count chart in my previous entry below, courtesy of IMO. How best to watch the meteor shower? Check out my guide here. Stay tuned for updates…

Also here are some cool links just  underneath to some great meteor shower online resources – in case you are stuck indoors or clouded out. Tip of the hat to Spaceweather.com.
