Don't miss the STELLAR spectacle happening tonight and tomorrow night. The Perseid meteor shower is here!

The Perseids appear every year, in mid-August, as Earth passes through the cloud of debris left by the ancient comet Swift-Tuttle.

Meteors are coming! Every summer the Perseids Meteor Shower is visible, usually starting in mid-July and peaking in mid-August. Incidentally, this happens to be the best time of year for staying up late, heading outside, and watching the night sky.
