Perseid Meteor Shower this Weekend


It's that time of year again...back to school season is upon us, and so is the Perseid Meteor shower!  The year's best meteor shower peaks this weekend and it looks like skies will be clear in the Quad Cities, so we'll have a great chance at seeing A LOT of shooting stars!  This meteor shower happens every August and could offer up to 60 meteors per hour! 

For the best viewing you'll want to be away from city lights and outside after midnight Saturday night and again on Sunday night.  Give your eyes some time to adjust and basically just look up!  If you're in an open area try looking off to the Northeast, but any clear skies should be good...
