perseids: apparently a dud
August 11, 2006
According to NASA, this year’s Perseid Meteor Shower is going to suck, because the moon is too bright. So annoying! For once I had remembered that early August was the best time to see it, only to be thwarted.

The moon’s too bright? Help me out with the science of why that’s variable…

The moon was probably FULL at the time the Perseids were going full blast. That’s enough to drown out some of the shower. I saw them once on a clear night ion NH lying on my back with my husband in the middle of a road. It was the only place we could find without streetlights. It was amazing – and well worth it. Isn’t there another big shower sometime in Nov?
