The annual show of light in the sky, created by the Swift-Tuttle Comet, Perseids (after the constellation Perseus) has begun and will reach it's peak around 00:00 hours on August 12, 2009. If you can find a safe, dark and quiet spot away from the city lights, you should be able to look a little towards the east and see the Perseids meteor shower. The moon isn't going to be in the best position to see a spectacular show, but either way, you should check it out. The moons light may obstruct some of the magical light created by these particles, but if you keep your eyes peeled you should be able to get a glimpse. The best time to see the show is during the peak from the evening of August 11, 2009 until the dawn on August 12, 2009. Good Luck, comment to this post if you are able to see anything, post some pictures for us if you are able to catch some on camera!
