Interestingly, when I was observing the Perseids I noticed a few meteors that didn’t seem to match the normal path of Perseids or their regular description.

When I began studying meteor showers and writing about them in this blog, I thought that meteor showers were events solely witnessed at night. I’ve since come to realize that these events are far more difficult to predict and are in [...]]]></description>

Every year in August the Perseids ignite the air and create spectacular streaks of light all across the morning and night skies. One of the biggest problems when viewing a meteor shower is man-made light or light pollution. Our city [...]]]></description>

I’ve received reports about the sighting from Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio so I figured I&#8217;d give a little insight.

		<description><![CDATA[A meteor shower happens when a cluster of meteoroids orbiting the Sun cross the path of the Earth’s orbit. The meteoroids enter the Earth’s atmosphere at a similar time each year. Their path is also roughly the same; therefore they seem to radiate from a certain spot in the sky. So where do the meteoroids [...]]]></description>
