Celestial show coming to Earth!
August 10, 2012
A shower of space rocks is on its way to Earth.
If skies are clear, the annual Perseid Meteor Shower will be visible in the evening hours of August 11 to August 13. Historically, the Perseids create a magnificent astronomical light show of "shooting stars" — streaks of light caused by dust particles ejected from the comet Swift-Tuttle as the Earth passes through the comet's debris trail.
