Catch the Perseid Meteor Shower Tonight!
I love stars! One of the best nights I’ve ever had was in Joshua Tree last year when my love Dan and I hiked out into the desert, laid down and watched all the stars and planets flying around. It was a real Star Party…
Tonight, we’ve got a treat because from around midnight til 5am, there’s a blast of meteors, some theorize there will be one every minute or so. Of course, we live in a dense, overlit city, so it may be hard to catch a lot of them… and there’s a pretty bright moon tonight.
Nevertheless, I for one, will be laying out under the stars to catch some summer starlight showers. I may even cruise over to Malibu… or out into the wilds of Tujunga to try and get away from the city light. And if you are reading this and know of someplace to get to that’s not to far that might be shielded from our bright LA light… lay it on us!
