What Was The Meteorogical Event Of 13Aug

Shooting stars, a reliable event every year, as the earth passes through the debris from the Swift-tuttle comet. However because it appears that the meteor shower hails from Perseid constellation it is called the Perseids.

The most spectacular view was last night, with an intense show of one per minute, this was best seen in the northern hemisphere around 11pm. If you missed it, don't despair there is still plenty of time to make several wishes, as the display does not cease until 22nd August.

Just look to the North Eastern sky, there is a full moon so the edge is taken of the brightness of the stars, best that can be hoped for is cloud over the moon with clear sky's towards Perseid.

Happy star gazing.
