METEOR ALERT: The Perseid meteor shower is underway and should reach its 
peak during the next 24 hours. Forecasters say the best time to look is 
during the dark hours before dawn on Tuesday, August 12th. The glaring Moon 
sets around 2:00 a.m., and that's when the Perseids could appear in numbers 
as high as 60 per hour. The best displays will be seen from rural areas with 
dark skies.  Sky maps, photos and more information are available at

WEEKEND AURORAS:  A solar wind stream hit Earth on August 9th sparking 
Northern Lights over Canada and at least two US states.  See the show here:
