Meteor shower tonight
Just a reminder for those who are interested in celestial fireworks: We mentioned the Perseids meteor shower in the Solar eclipse thread, and tonight is your chance to see it.
Many of us will also be able to see a lunar eclipse on Saturday 16/8.

Of Subatomic Importance
How good are the Perseids supposed to be this time around? I usually try to make it out for the good ones. Unfortunately, the common wisdom is that these showers are better when viewed closer to dawn. It would have to be quite a spectacular show to get me out of bed at 5 a.m.

I'm afraid I don't know how spectacular it will be, but I agree that that it is a near death experience to get up at 5am... The problem is that I always get up at that time. Another problem is that during the summer we have but a few hours of semi darkness. It never goes really pitch black.

Yep, we had it too. The problem with your weather is that we usually get it once you're done with it....

Our local news station reminds us of every little happening, so I wasn't suprised when I was told that their would be a satellite over-head the other night; of course not as exciting as a meteor shower, but it's at least something isn't it?

It would seem that most of us missed it, due to poor weather. Perhaps we will be luckier with the lunar eclipse on Saturday 16/8?

And the worst part is there is plenty more to come!
Blame it all on Climate Change. 
I wonder how Al Gore is doing right now?
Wish hard enough, I could turn it to what I like.

Yeah, I can't remember if it was foggy or not that night, but I think it was. Now that thought is going to bug me, ha ha.
Hopefully!
