Tonight, and throughout tomorrow (night as well) the Perseid meteor shower will be kicking off, and it's supposed to be quite spectacular with the shower to reach 100 - 200 meteors per hour. Ideally, you'll want to watch it take place between 12 AM and 2 AM (Early morning).

 

While we can't play DU now, try to find sometime to witness this event, as this doesn't occur very often. :)

 

 

EDIT: I'll be taking some photos, but I may not be able to get anything good. Depending on how bad the light pollution will be where I am going. If anyone watches it tonight and has clear skies, take some photos and post them here!

I have been looking forward to this, my wife has never seen one, not one single shooting star!

 

Oh boy, her reaction is going to be great then! And at least her first time to watch something like this gets to be this particular meteor shower. One of the best we'll ever see in our lifetimes. :D
