Look to the northeast sky after 2 AM this morning to catch the best look at the annual Perseid meteor shower.
Esperts say if it is clear, star gazers should see a shooting star every minute tonight.
I'll be out with my binoculars tonight. How about you?
:D

Don't use binoculars. . . they will narrow your field of vision, and you are likely to miss one.

It was too overcast to see much at all. Unfortunately.
I saw it from a desert site in Washington State one yer, and it was SPECTACULAR!

Just so it doesn't fall on your head, like what happened in Washington State one yer.
