Day 77: Catch a Meteor Shower

showerGear up to see some great balls of fire flashing through the sky tonight!  The upcoming Perseid meteor shower produces more fireballs — bright meteors that streak across the sky — than any other annual shower, earning it the title of "fireball champion" and it all kicks off in our sky tonight!

 

During the peak of the Perseids, stargazers under dark skies could see more than 100 meteors per hour, but some bright fireballs can also be spotted in urban, light polluted areas.

Head over to the
Canada Science and Technology Museum at 9pm tonight to view the night sky from the Helen Sawyer Hogg Observatory (weather permitting).   No registration required. Dress warmly.  Bring a lawn chair.
