Live Science · The Perseids are coming — here's how to watch the glorious meteor shower before the moon ruins the showBy Jamie Carter

@OurParadise @APoD It could appear that way. You may already know this, but added for readers who will benefit from the info:
The radiant point of the #Perseids meteor shower appears to be from the constellation Perseus, which is in the band of the Milky Way from our perspective. But it actually comes from a much closer source. That same direction, we're looking into the orbital path of comet Swift-Tuttle. The comet isn't here, fortunately. But dust from previous passes comes from the same path.

It’s my birthday! One of my big life wishes is to once upon a time see the actual milky way with my own eyes. Because I’m on a “it’s OK to not have your life together” year I didn’t make work out of planning a trip to a dark zone yet, but me and my wife walked out of rhe city for a little bit and we were able to see a few falling stars 💕 #perseids
