Perseid Meteor Shower, 2010
It's cloudy and overcast here, just like every time in my rememberable history where I've gotten excited about a weather-dependent event.
I hope it's better wherever you are. Summary via Space.com: Quote:

Astronomy 0, meteorology 7.
Wait, how can they call it "meteor"-ology when it stops us from seeing the meteors?

My date cancelled on me. "Let me know next time there's a big meteor shower!"
Yeah I'll get right on that.

I should go out and look.
Tomorrow we're going to a party of the outdoor bonfire variety held by a friend who likes to sing and play guitar. So maybe we'll be able to look up in to the sky then, |

Juni, the Perseids will have passed by then, but you might still see a shooting star or two. Sounds like a lovely evening anyway.

Mum and Dad went out last night. Dad saw one, Mum saw five. Every time she pointed one out he'd already missed it.

While the Perseids *peak* on the 12th, you will still see a larger number of meteors for a couple of weeks on either side of that peak than you would normally.
