Summer Shower

This weekend observers in North America will be able to enjoy the Persied meteor showers. That is, they will be able to enjoy the Persied meteor showers as long as they are not living in a light-polluted city.

The annual light show is the result of debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle entering into the Earth's atmosphere. According to astronomers, at the peak of the meteor shower observers should be able to see up to sixty meteors an hour.

I know what I am doing at four AM.
