Coming to you every hour on the hour

One of the downsides of living in the city is that the night sky is not dark enough to see faint stars and meteors. Saturday and Sunday nights were good ones for the Delta Aquarid meteor shower, and one viewer here sent in a nice ‘shooting star’ video clip to the local TV news station. The Perseids are starting to appear as well, and should peak August 11, 12 and 13. These are known as the best summer meteor shower, with 50 or more meteors per hour.
