Perseid Meteors: It's that time of year again

Look toward the northeast tonight through tomorrow morning for our annual meteor shower [aka shooting stars!]

If you can get outside the city limits you get a better view [no city lights] but even those of us who stay put should be able to see some is this event. I admit that the best viewings I had in my life were in the middle of an island in Lake George NY and also in Vt [where there are few people, no billboards and almost no night light.]

But I am in the city by choice [or rather genetic necessity] and I will see what I can see - you do the same and enjoy!

If I get any good photos or videos I'll post.

Meteor Showers

The Perseid meteor showers start tonight - but the air in Portland proper has been pretty dirty of late - and it is a city! so if you want to see the meteor showers you need to get way to a spot with no city lights...

OMSI is doing a meteor watch tonight - 9PM at Rooster Rock info here

Last year I could not see nay from my deck - but having seen these showers in the past when I was in "cleaner sky areas" - if you can get away do so - it can be awe inspiring!
