Perseids

Every August, our earth cycles through the Perseid meteor shower. This weekend, there is supposed to be exceptional viewing, as there is a new moon, and the sky will be very dark. The downside is that the greatest volume of meteors is expected around 4 a.m. Monday, August 13 - dozens per hour. Will I get up to see it? I'm going to try. I've set my alarm.
