Meteor Shower August 12th PDF Print E-mail
Written by Roger   


Hey all you Outdoor Adventuneers!  Set your alarm clocks for the wee hours of August 12th and find yourself a place away from all the light pollution.  It's that time of year for the Perseid Meteor Show(er).  At the peak of the shower, estimated to be just before dawn on August 12th, you can see up to 60 meteorites an hour!   Be sure to drag your kids out of bed for this - it could be a very memorable event for the family!

You can read more about the Perseid (and others) meteor shower at
