The media hasn't really been putting the word out on this but the Perseid Meteor shower is peaking this weekend. This is one of our best and most consistant meteor showers and also happens to be occurring during the time of the new moon this year thus minimal glare and great viewing conditions for observation. Frequency this year is predicted to be around 60 meteors per hour with peak hours being those just before dawn.

Sounds like a good night to go Fishing!!!

Paddling aficionados might want to check out the Triangle flatwater paddling meetup.com group -- they're planning meteor-watches tonight and tomorrow night from the middle of Jordan Lake.
