Watch for Shooting Stars

Sunday night, I plan on laying in the hot tub looking up at the stars, watching for meteors. The Perseid meteor shower August 12-13 should yield 90-100 shooting stars per hour.

While space.com says to look Northeast, last weekend, during the block party, I saw a shooting star due South. I think there are three good seats in the tub that’ll let us see the night sky.

Ever since the last Cub Scout campout, I’ve loved looking up at the stars. Hopefully I’ll see some good meteors this weekend.
