You've a couple of days to plan for one of the finest celestial fireworks shows of the year. In the early morning of Friday, August 12th will be the Perseid meteor shower.Conditions are pretty much perfect. The moon sets around 10pm on Thursday night. The skies are expected to be pretty clear (at least they are around here in the Cincy area). The weather's supposed to be nice, and things are supposed to peak in the early morning dark hours - around 4am. The peak is expected to have roughly a hundred shooting stars an hour, so this is one to get out and see.

I've seen the Leonid meteor shower in the past during November. It's definitely worth setting the alarm and checking out...just get out of the city lights and all will be well. I saw them from my deck and from an airplane...incredible stuff.
