AUG. 12 -- Perseid meteor show \'the best of the bunch\'

Park your lawn chairs in a dimmed area outside if you want to catch a glimpse of the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks tonight.
A stream of small particles in space will move like a river as the Earth crosses through it sideways, creating \"little flashing streaks,\" said Peter Jedicke, astronomy professor at Fanshawe College.
The tiny particles move very fast and create a \"dramatic and exciting flash in the sky,\" he said.
Jedicke is former national president of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.
Although there are generally about 20 meteor showers in a year, the Perseid is \"the best of the bunch,\" he said.
It is the most reliable meteor shower, occurring annually around Aug. 12. It comes at a convenient time during summer, when observers tend to spend more time outdoors, Jedicke said.
The streaks of light are visible for less than three seconds and the longer streaks can be seen about once every five to 15 minutes, he said.
It won\'t be possible to see every streak tonight due to a recent full moon that will wash out the dimmer streaks.
It is possible to take pictures of the nightly display, he said. Just \"don\'t lie in a lawn chair under a street light.\"
Looking to the east increases your chances of seeing the shower. Results are best later in the night.
\"Just keep your eyes open. Patience and diligence are two things you need,\" Jedicke said. |
