Perseid Meteor Showers

Event Description

For the little night owls -- the most famous meteor shower, the Perseid meteor shower, peaks late Saturday night. The moon's light shouldn't interfere too much this year so you may see as many as 20-30 an hour. If patience is not your child's strong point, not to mention staying up late, read about the phenomenon, watch a live video feed, and chat with a NASA team online (this starts at the reasonable hour of 5 p.m. Hawaii time). Or just take a look at some of the http://www.space.com/12500-photos-perseid-meteor-shower-amazing-images.html best photos of the famous shower.
