The Perseids 2013
If you're into astronomy, you'll know that the Perseid meteor shower is going to peak tomorrow night. The popular astronomy club of my area came out to the PRC observatory and had its annual picnic, which I attended. The food was amazing, but the main feature was the occasional meteor. Some members brought "go-to" telescopes and allowed everyone to view various astronomical objects. It was really awesome to view the objects in the M catalog. I just might stay up tomorrow to see the peak, which is expected to have 70-100 meteors per hour.
