Tomorrow night (Sunday), from 11 PM (EST) till dawn, the Perseids meteor shower shall be occurring. It is supposed to be an amazing sight because there is a new moon that night so there will be no moonlight to distort it.
Some viewing tips/facts:
-Look in the direction where the sky is the darkest
-If you have a very dark sky, you should see a meteor per minute
-Meteors will also occur the following days

If you want more information on meteor showers, check out:

I believe the world is burning to the ground.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

If you would have peace, prepare for war.

I am gonna have to go out and watch it, because that should be pretty cool.
I could have been a contender.
If there is a 50/50 chance you'll get right there is a 90% chance you get it wrong.

I spent a lot of summer nights watching the Perseids... :)
The voices may not be real, but they have some pretty good ideas...
