A familiar traveler has returned, and it should make for some nice sky-watching this week. The Perseid meteor shower peaks Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
Late July is the beginning of a trifecta of spectacular, heavenly fireworks shows. Beginning with the Delta Aquariids and the Alpha Capricornids, peaking tonight, they are but the warm-up act for the big show in August, the Perseid meteor showers.
The annual Perseid meteor shower will reach its peak this week during a new moon, giving amateur stargazers dark skies to view a dazzling array of "shooting stars."
Toronto -
Between midnight and dawn, millions of people in the Northern Hemisphere had the wonderful opportunity to witness the Perseid meteor shower. Even though I was not able to personally see the space spectacular, it was still a delightful event.
