Perseids Meteor Showers :)

[Pheebs]

What what what it is: Perseids Meteorite Showers
Where've they come from eh?: They're weeee fragments and dusticles from one of my favourite named comets... The "Swift-Tuttle" (hehehe! Makes me giggle every time!)
When HM hm hmmm?: From 11th through to 14th (some say peaking 12th, others 13th) of August
Where to looksy: The easiest way to find it would be to look for Cassiopeia (the W looking constellation) and a lot of the action should be below thaaar! It's nestled in the Perseus constellation but peoples don't seem to know this constellation as well Although saying this and regularly they do crop up elsewhere!
How many should I see?: Well when I've watched previously I've seen one every couple of minutes in the peak. Sometimes though it may only be one every ten minutes or so. BUT! They are spectacular! Shoot across the whole sky jobbos! Truly beautiful! Oh and this time round you will be able to spot more just prior to dawn time!

Tis probably the best shower of the year - I absolutely heart them! If it's a clear night tonight and tomorrow then I will be sleeping on a rug outside in my sleepybag and with my blanky to watch these Come join come join!

Wubbles, your night sky lubbing friend,

Pheebsicle.
