Meteorwatch 2010 (mirror)

This is a mirror of the original movie by AndromedasWake:

This astonishing trailer was produced by Adrian West of Newbury Astronomical Society. Unfortunately, they aren't my local society but Adrian and I are members of the BAA, and we need your help cataloguing this year's Perseid Meteor Shower, which will be peaking very favourably this Thurday night/Friday morning shortly after New Moon. Details can be found at this link:

The Perseid Meteor Shower is by far the best throughout the year, and this will be one of the best chances to see it in recent years. Get out there and witness the extraordinary beauty that tiny fragments of cometary dust and the Earth's atmosphere can orchestrate together. Clear skies, and have a great shower!
