The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight, with a rate of 200/hour predicted during passage through a filament at around 0800 UT on 12/08/09. More details at http://spaceweather.com/ including how to hear the live radar feed.

Naturally, it's thick cloud here in sunny Manchester. :-/

Was pretty dense haze here in Mountain View at last check, too. Maybe it'll be better in 24 hours.

Ooh, thanks for the heads-up. I hope our cloud clears tonite.

Thanks for the info. It's sunny here at the moment, so here's hoping the clear skies remain.

Oooh, radio! That's how I can observe the meteor shower without leaving my bed in my light-polluted city. :P

We have clouds, too ;(

There's always tomorrow night, though. /me crosses fingers
