Perseid Meteor Shower



This week is the Perseid Meteor Shower.

A few years ago, I was in a remote part of the Canadian Rockies, and watched the Perseids as they streaked across the sky, exploding into brilliant fireballs. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

The article said this is supposed to be the best display in several years, peaking Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
