    Subject: The Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks This Weekend

    NASA Science News for August 10, 2012
    The Perseid meteor shower is underway. There's more to see than meteors, however, when the shower peaks on August 11th through 13th. The brightest planets in the solar system are lining up in the middle of the display.

    I'm going to go out tonight and try to see but our partly cloudy forcast for this whole weekend might limit my chances.

    Oh, gosh, thanks for the reminder! Our skies are supposed to be clear, and perhaps we can see the meteor shower and the planets. We love the show that the sky puts on occasionally.
