Stargazing? Check the Sky for Perseids
Make A Wish -
Shooting Stars could make them come true!
Montreal, August 3, 2011
It seems the FULL MOON will be covering the shooting stars this years but the dates are August 11 to 14, 2011. If you want to be lucky and see about 10 of them per hour, look in the opposite direction from the MOON.
Now just hope for a clear sky, and come wish upon a star!
The Perseids are usually most active between 11 p.m. and dawn.
Happy stargazing!
