 We've got the Perseid Meteor Shower coming up in August. Basically it peaks on August 12th, but the Perseid Meteors come into this area about August 9th or so and they really leave about the 14th or 15th. I always tell people a couple of nights before, a couple of nights after. And actually technically speaking it's mornings because meteor showers are best seen after midnight which sometimes is a problem because usually their ideal time is about 3 o'clock in the morning. Picture a car driving through a snowstorm. The front window gets covered with the snow, the back doesn't. So after midnight as the earth is rotating you're heading into the area in space where meteors come from on any given night. Perseids are usually bright enough. You can see from your backyard. I mean if you're in the middle of a large city you're going to have a problem but around Eastern Kentucky here, I mean it doesn't matter if you're in Pressensburg, Painsville, Pikeville a couple of miles out of town is pretty good. You know, stone crest is usually pretty dark here. I mean you've got places down in Pikeville and Painsville are pretty easy to see so you don't need totally dark skies. And again with this one it won't make too much difference because that moon is going to be throwing some light out there anyhow so even if you're observing from a place it's fairly lit up between the moon lights are going to kind of dampen the view anyway. When we tell people to go out and observe these things they go out with their families and they always remember stuff like this and you know you're observing something that really is from a long time ago. In the case of most many meteors that you see in the sky you know there are several billions of years old and this is the way this is too even though this is from a comet that was discovered in BC you know 20 or so BC that comet has been around for billions of years so you're seeing something that you know it precedes the time of all of us being here basically so it's a cool thing for memories and you know people come in here all the time and say hey we saw the meteor shower last summer or two summers ago it's nice to go out and do that with your kids or your neighbors or whatever.
