PERSEID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is entering a stream of debris from Comet 
Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Worldwide 
observers are now reporting more than 30 Perseids per hour, a number that 
could triple during the weekend when Earth reaches the heart of the debris 
zone. Forecasters recommend looking during the dark hours before dawn, 
especially Sunday morning, August 12th, when activity is expected to be 
highest. Visit http://spaceweather.com for sky maps, observing tips, and 
links to a live meteor radar.

you can make real.
