Perseids

Yep, it's that time of year - time for the annual Perseid meteor shower. If you've never seen them, it's well worth getting up early (or staying up late, depending on where you live) for the show. Sounds like 4:00AM -ish  8/12 will be the peak viewing time here on the west coast - a good a time as any to sit out on the deck with a cup of coffee. For more details, there's a good viewing guide on space.com.
