Perseids Meteor Shower


It's 1.15am here and I've just come in from the garden after watching shooting stars from the Perseids meteor shower. Amazing. I saw around ten shooting stars in the space of 45 minutes. I think any of you in North America will be able to see them tonight. Advice and info on how to see them http://stardate.org/nightsky/meteors/. It's worth the effort believe me.

  4. They are worth watching - I counted about 25, although only about 10 were really bright. I think I caught a satellite on camera, though.
