Outdoors with the Perseid meteors
On a late walk with the poodle around the neighborhood last night, I happened to glance up to the southeast just in time to catch a pretty shooting star flashing in the sky.
Today, the Planetary Society reminds me that it’s that time of year for a beautiful summertime occurrence: “Check out the Perseids this weekend!”
Meanwhile, the Bad Astronomer helpfully lists the “12 things you need to watch the Perseid meteors Sunday night”.
Closer to the ground, we espied a fat raccoon poking his head out of a sewer drain.
