Meteor Madness

Prepared to be awed. From late evening on august 12 until predawn the next day, The Perseid meteor shower peaks, coinciding with a new moon–so you could see 50-plus meteors an hour if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere. All you need is a clear sky about 40 miles from city lights and a blanket.

I’m not driving 40 miles out of town with the high price of gas, but it does sound awesome!
