Hello!
Just wanted to share a unique opportunity. On August 12th, the Perseid Meteor shower should get underway. This certain phenomenon only happens once ever 133 years and luckily, will be easily viewed as the moon will be waxing and the moonlight won't drown out the meteor shower. I guess, from what I've been reading, this particular shower will get up to 50 meteors an hour. So, if you are lucky enough to be out in the country, you will have an ample opportunity to watch a beautiful display of God's creation.
If you are curious to know where exactly radiant point of the shower is, here's a link to earthsky.net where they have a diagram of how to map the constellations.
Enjoy! God Bless!
