Perseid Meteor Shower for 2009
August 10-12 will probably be the best viewing opportunities for this year’s Perseid meteor shower. Universe Today has a good article on this year’s light show.
Additional information can be found at the American Meteor Society website. I recommend spending some time at this site. You can even log your meteor sightings here, and see the record of sightings in various areas.
NASA maintains a listing of After School Astronomy Clubs if you are interested.

It is 3 a.m., wednesday morning in upstate New York. For those that don’t know that is the part of NY that is not nyc. Unfortunately it is much too cloudy to see the shower tonight. I am very disappointed since it was to cloudy last year too. I will try again tomorrow night to see if any stragglers will peak through the clouds then (it’s supposed to be cloudy also).
