Perseids Meteor showers are at their peak August 12th - 13th. Viewed best in the Northwest sky after the moon sets.As I child I studied our solar system, never really understanding that it is just a very tiny spec inside the Milky Way galaxy.
Where we live the skies are dark at night. On a clear night you can see the Milky Way, thousands of stars stretched across the sky in a thick band. If you have never seen the Milky Way make time to do it at least once in your lifetime. It will take your breath away.
