Tonight is a great night to do some sky watching. The annual Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak tonight between 11pm and dawn tomorrow. It's a good year to catch the shower because the peak coincides with a new moon, so there will be less moonlight to hinder the view.
A few years ago our family got up at 2am to camp out on our trampoline and watch the meteor shower show. It was amazing. Shooting stars burst across the sky every few seconds. It was better than a fourth of July fireworks show.
For information on when and where to watch, here's a link to an MSNBC article, Night Owls Make the Most of the Meteors.
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:6
