Worth Doing: Meteor Madness

Stay up a little bit late tonight. It's worth it.

The famously active Perseids meteor shower peaks tonight, and between minimal moonlight and a relatively clear forecast, it looks like conditions should be ripe to see between 45 and 60 meteors per hour. Head outside after midnight, look Northeast, and start counting.

Anything measured in meteors per hour has got to be good, right?
