Perseid Meteor Shower

For anybody who has never driven out far away from city lights to view this, I strongly encourage you to put it on your calendar for next summer.

Seeing spectacular shows like this connect us the greater mysteries of our world and the universe. Things like this ground us, and give perspective on life and the churn of events. It’s also a darn good reason to advocate in your community against light pollution, so we can continue to view these celestial events.
