Look to the skies today

[Nimos]

Just to remind everyone that today and to the 13. august there should apparently be a whole of shooting stars in the sky, so it could be cool.

The bright Perseids are perhaps the most popular meteor shower of the year, and they've just begun! With clear skies, you could see what some consider the most spectacular cosmic light show.

Spectators can expect to see the greatest number of meteors during the shower's peak between Aug. 11-13 this year, according to Earthsky.org.

Comet Swift-Tuttle from July 17 to Aug. 24, with the shower's peak — when Earth passes through the densest, dustiest area — occurring Aug. 11-13. That means you'll see the most meteors in the shortest amount of time near that time. Years without moonlight see higher rates of meteors per hour, and in outburst years (such as in 2016) the rate can be between 150-200 meteors an hour.

So if you like this look to the skies to night

Its times such as this when I miss sitting on the deck of our boat, sipping some wine and looking at the heavens, with no city lights etc. to lessen the experience.

Better get that wishing list going, apparently there should be about 100-150 an hour for several days, normally its between 5 and 10 I think.

This is going to be some amazing time, with all the wishes ALWAYS!! coming true.

Guess I might as well order that new Ferrari? and maybe start looking for a luxury mansion as well? Boat maybe? ohh this is going to be sweet

Yesterday I woke up at 5 o clock...and I was looking at the sky from my window.
Starless sky. Only Venus, bright as usual.
All of a sudden I see two trails in two different parts of the sky...lasting one second, maybe less.

So nice...it was so casual and nice
