A Cosmic Fireworks Show

Get set for a shower – but you won’t need an umbrella for this one.

The Perseid meteor shower is an annual favourite with stargazers across Canada. Shooting stars regularly zip across the sky on any night but every mid-August Earth slams into a cloud of sand-sized particles in space that cause a whole downpour of streaks of light in just a few hours.

Peak time is from 10 pm August 11 into the following morning until 4 am. No binoculars needed, just look up, generally face a northereastly direction, where the Persieds appear to come from. For the darkest skies and best part of the show wait until after the blinding Moon sets around 1 am.

From a dark locale you can expect to see as many as 120 meteors per hour at peak time. For those under the bright skies of city suburbs, expect a shooting star about every two minute. But straggler Perseids can be seen from August 8 til August 14. Get set to make a lot of wishes!

I went out and looked for awhile last night but didn't see any.

I noticed that I couldn't see as many stars as I remember seeing say... 10 years ago.

Chemtrail haze I guess.

Did you see any meteors?
