This is one of my favorite meteor pictures, available at the NASA website. I believe it was taken during the Perseid Meteor Shower of 1999 by Wally Pacholka.It's not to late to view the Perseid Meteor Shower! While the peak (50 -60 an hour) was Sunday Evening/Monday Morning (August 12/13) we will be able to see meteors for the next several days, although the frequency will diminish as the week progresses. The moon sets early, leaving us with dark skies. Despite the darkness, I was disappointed on Sunday/Monday as it was very hazy over the 'Burg. Now if the temperatures and haze would just cooperate, we might be able to catch a few before next year! Good luck viewing. Let me know what you see! The Orionids will be coming up in October!
