The Perseid Meteor Shower is tonight. You guys on the East side of the Atlantic might want to head outside about now. A nice padded lawn chair should work well. And as may be appropriate for a celebration of the great cosmic dance, you might want to burn a couple bowls of .. er .. uh .. incense; and of course in some traditions libations may be shared as well. | ||

We are getting it tonight but the weather here is cloudy but there is a chance it may break up so looking forward to the cosmic firework display | ||

For some reason (lucky!), the marine layer held back until 1:00 am and we were able to watch without the moon until around midnight. Saw quite a few bright ones! Wasn't even that cold. Hoping the fog stays out tonight so we can take another look. The event has a predicted peak, but of course, that's just an estimate, so it's worth watching for a while in the days leading up to and away from the predicted peak. | ||

Still pretty cloudy here, and the forecast is for continued mostly cloudiness. | ||
