cuiu in izjzia. caui Lenient this year is about possibly seeing increased activity from the layer of dust cast off when the comet was near the sun in 1862. Perseids are very fast, travelling at 60 kilometres per second before being “burned up” in the atmosphere.
Some meteors are likely to be seen on any night in August, but I suggest that people make definite plans to observe them on the nights of August 11 and 12. Fortunately this year, moonlight will not interfere at all for most of the night. Although some meteors may be seen beginning at about 10:00 p.m., I strongly recommend observing all nighl, right up to morning twilight. Meteor experts are predicting this year’s best activity for early morning at the beginning of twilight. Tb see the most meteors, face in a northerly or southeasterly direction and direct your gaze to a “quartersection” of the sky quite high above the horizon. You will soon notice that most of the meteors come from, and can be traced back to, a spot, called “the radiant” in the northeastern sky; these meteors are members of the Perseids; others are not.
Let's hope for clear nights when we are stargazing.
