Someone has to start the Perseids thread as we have now entered this stream. So it might as well be IIS's most northerly active member (I would love it if you can contradict me on that
)
Anyhow, the Perseids have been in the space news already with NASA's announcement that they have the highest rate of Fireballs of all the recognised meteor showers. Early fireballs have already been spotted !
I have found this to be the most consistent & appealing Meteor Shower of the year & the further North you are the better it is.
This year I will be
in Cairns for the peak and I am hoping a few other keen Meteor Shower watchers will join me in the cool morning air to observe this shower.
Even if you are not lucky enough to be in FNQ at this delightful time of year, It would be great to hear of your Perseids experience here
If you have never got up in the early hours of the morning to watch a meteor shower, I can highly recommend it (even better with a thermos of hot coffee)
