Here’s a trailer of the put together by meteorwatch.org for this year’s Perseid meteor shower that just occured (Aug 11-13th). For those of us who live in the Southwest, the best time to see them would have been Saturday morning, before sunrise. Also, take a look at this picture taken by NASA astronaut Ron Garan through a window of the ISS.
(BTW: this is a first attempt of posting via Posterous, hopefully it looks like I intended)
