Meteor showers and August full moon offer grand spectacle

Tonight is our standard annual appointment with the Perseid meteor shower, which starts from mid July and reaches its peak on August the 12^th. An average of 100 falling stars per hour, actually the debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle, which meet with the Earth’s atmosphere, are about to offer a spectacular demonstration of the beauty and power of nature.

The Perseid meteor shower is named after the constellation Perseus, located at the same point of the night sky where the meteor shower appears to originate from. The meteor shower will be followed by tomorrow’s August full moon, giving the observer the opportunity to temporarily remove himself from the daily routine and invest in the stock market of dreams.
