It's Time for the Perseids Meteor Shower!

Have any of you ever seen a meteor shower?  The Perseids Meteor Shower is an annual event with my family.  This year's peak viewing period is August 12/13.  If you are interested in staying awake to get a good look, you should first check out SKY Online's Meteor Page.  You can learn about what you will see, the schedule of meteor showers for the rest of 1998, and how to plan a meteor watch.  Need still more information?  Check out Gary Kronk's Comets and Meteor Showers page.   Watching a meteor shower is an awe-inspiring experience that everyone should have the privilege to appreciate.  Let's hope skies are clear for us!
