The big show this month is the Perseid Meteor Shower!

It all happens in the wee hours of Monday morning, August 12th. And we DO mean wee hours. Go outside at midnight on the 11th and be prepared to spend a few hours. Go back inside only if it’s cloudy. Dress warmly as needed, with a blanket handy. There can be as many as 100 meteors per hour.
