Meteor Shower
-
One of the finest meteor showers of the year has already begun. It will peak on the night of August 11, the morning of August 12 at around 3:00 - 4:00 a.m. Click on this chart and it will enlarge enough to be readable.

This meteor shower should have around 100 visible meteors per hour at its peak. Look up about 45 degrees to the Northeast. They will be all over the sky but will appear to be coming out of the sky near Cassiopea (the big W). Laying in a chaise lounge might be the best idea, and if it is cold where you are why not do it in a sleeping bag!
