PSA: The annual Persied meteor shower is upon us this weekend...

Beginning tonight through the peak on Sunday/Monday morning, rates of 70-100 per hour are expected during its peak early Monday morning, however Friday and Saturday nights should still offer decent viewing opportunities...

Until next time, be well.
