Do yourself a favor, lose the screen, go outside and stargaze

The oldest meteor shower known to mankind, called the “Perseids,” an annual meteor shower radiating from a point in the constellation Perseus is peaking at around 4 a.m., eastern, 1 a.m pacific time tonight. The show promises to be the most visible and vivid than at any other time in recent history.

A NASA expert broke it down this way, “because the moon is “almost new,” there won’t be any moonlight to ‘mess with the show.'”

Shooting star sighting have already been reported, in of all places, Las Vegas, one of the most light polluted cities on earth.

So you don’t have any excuse to not go outside and simply look up! And don’t forget to count your lucky stars.

No telescope required, no enhancement needed, just have at least one good eye and one good wish left to make.
