Meteor ‘Outburst’ Expected Friday Morning

“For as long as records exist, the Perseid meteor showers have always been strong. This summer’s Perseid shower will be exceptional. The moon is mostly out of the way later in the night, and higher-than-normal activity rates are expected over the United States.” (Yahoo! News)

If you are so inclined (I mean inclined away from your usual horizontal position at that time of night), get to a dark place outside after 4 a.m. Eastern time, 1 a.m. Pacific time tonight.
