Perseid meteor shower 2019

lolie · 2019-08-12 20:16:33

Peaks tonight. Looks like clear skies for a lot of the country. Unfortunately there's a full moon out so that'll will block out a lot of them. Up to 15 or so viewable per hour, best chance to see most would probably be later in the night before dawn when the moon is low down. Temperatures of only 6 to 10 so it'll be chilly…
