Perseid Shower

Archive: 14 posts


It is that time of year again... we even got a LBP costume representing it! It's none other than the annual Perseid meteor shower!

Who has actually seen it? The peak is tomorrow night Aug. 12 - 13 but the past three days there have been shrinking windows of time to watch the shower between moon set and sun rise.

Hopefully I'll have some better luck tomorrow, but I can always wait till next year!

Living in a city, it's very hard to see the stars, let alone a meteor shower, so I barely ever see this kind of stuff.
It's so upsetting since I'd really love to see it in person, it looks so magical on videos. XD

Maybe, but the window to see it in Seattle is about seven minutes so you would have less time.

I don't live in a city but there is a small one nearby and there is a terrible amount of light pollution. It is also going to be full moon tonight which just =makes it harder to see.

I hope I can see it tomorrow. I don't really live in a city, just a small town, but hopefully there won't be much light pollution.

A few people mostly just seem to be interested in the meteor costume DLC, but that's what's made me interested in the whole thing anyway.
Good luck spotting it, guys.

I remember last year standing out in the cold for half an hour last year and not seeing anything, so hopefully I'll be able to see it this year. 2011-08-11 23:26:00

see, living out here in the sticks has its advantages. Should have a clear view of it if I can pry myself from LBP2011-08-12 18:41:00
