Explanation:
Meteors will be flashing across
your skies over the next two nights.
Specifically, the Perseid Meteor Shower should be
at its best just before each morning's dawn.
Observers at dark locations might see as
much as a meteor a minute.
Perseid meteors
are bits of dirt that blew off
Comet Swift-Tuttle and that
burn up as they fall to Earth.
Exciting expectations of a new filament in the
Perseids
might be tested this year.
Pictured above is a meteor from the most active
meteor shower of last year: the
Leonids.
Pictured above, a Leonid meteor was
caught in November outshining even the brightest stars over the
Anza-Borrego Desert in California. The Leonids will peak again this November and
might provide an ever better show.
