So, tonight is, probably, the best chance you will have to see a shooting star all year. It is the annual Perseid meteor shower. The Earth will be passing through the debris of the Tuttle-Swift Comet and it will streak across out skies. They say the best time to go out and see it will be around 2 a.m. Not even the Moon will be interfering with the show like it did last year. It's a New Moon tonight.
Now, isn't it a great cosmic joke that it's raining where I am right now and I won't get to see it? It rained the last time I went out to see it too.
