[LM_NET] Meteor Shower August 11

[Mary Ludwick <mludwick@IRVINGISD.NET>]

August 10, 2009
The Perseid meteor shower will have to fight it out with a bright moon
for visibility this year, but astronomers are still predicting a
dazzling show. 
From any vantage point in the world, you might see more than 80 meteors
an hour streak across the sky during the best viewing time, when the
moon's glare will be weakest-late Tuesday night and into the wee hours
of Wednesday, local cloud and lighting conditions permitting.
