kill1308 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Anyone watching it....? Going on as we speak. Visible for the next few hours as long as you've not got too many streetlights around you. Look north east ish. http://www.jodrellbank.manchester.ac.uk/astronomy/nightsky/Perseids3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 If you're in a well lit area you will probably have to stare at the sky a bit longer. They reckon 1 every few minutes in well lit area, or possibly up to 200 per hour in a rural area (where I am ) I've just popped back outside and saw another 5 or 6 in the space of a couple of minutes, really fascinating.
