Hocking Hills State Park: Perseid Meteor Shower
Bring a lawn chair or blanket to the Hocking Hills State Park, 8 p.m. on August 12 at the dining lodge, to view this month's Perseid meteor shower.
Check out the Ohio Department of Natural Resources press release at www.dnr.state.oh.us/news/aug05/0802meteor.htm.
The Perseids come every year, beginning in late July and stretching into August. Sky watchers outdoors at the right time can see colorful fireballs, occasional outbursts and, almost always, long hours of gracefully streaking meteors. Among the many nights of the shower, there is always one night that is best. This year: August 12th. And here's a a great NASA link concerning this year's display: science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/22jul_perseids2005.htm.
