(Falling) Stargazing

Spend some time outside tonight watching meteors streak across the firmament. The annual Perseid meteor shower will be at its peak overnight. The most spectacular meteor streaks are expected to appear between 9 and 11 pm local time, while the best time for sheer frequency will be closer to dawn on Wednesday.

Brew some coffee, pop some popcorn, put the deck chairs on the lawn and prepare to say "ooh" a lot.

Let's do it. I heard the best time to view was between 1 and 2 a.m., but I guess it's basically the wee hours of the night.
