The Perseid meteor shower this year is expected to be spectacular due to Jupiter pulling the ancient comets tail debris closer to the Earths path. The comet Swift-Tuttle circles the sun every 133 years it was first chronicled in 36 AD.
The best viewing will be after midnight into dawn Friday morn.

    I'm currently on my way up to Alaska... hoping to catch a glimpse of it tonight/tomorrow.

      Some trails are happy ones
      Others are blue
      It's the way you ride the trail that counts
      Here's a happy one to you......

      When away from the city lights the stars fill the night sky. I hope you have clear skies as it is overcast here no viewing tonight I'm hopping tomorrow will allow for better sky gazing.
      I would like to read about your experience .

    Hello Dobrien,
    Thank's for the reminder. I always look forward to this yearly event. The warm summer nights are always inviting. It is a wonder for the mind and a treat for the eyes.
    Respectfully,
    O.A.
