Subj : Weather (from yesterday) To : All From : Roger Nelson Date : Mon Aug 08 2016 08:23:15 Space Weather News for August 7, 2016 http://spaceweather.com https://www.facebook.com/spaceweatherdotcom PERSEID METEOR OUTBURST: Do you love the Perseid meteor shower? This year, you will love it even more. Forecasters say the 2016 Perseids should be twice as active as usual, filling the sky with 200+ meteors per hour on peak nights between Aug. 11th and 13th. This is happening because Earth is heading for an unusually rich stream of debris from parent comet Swift-Tuttle. Visit http://spaceweather.com for sky maps, observing tips, and links to live webcasts of the Perseid outburst. Remember, Spaceweather.com is now on Facebook! Today's Space Weather alert is sponsored by the students of Earth to Sky Calculus, who are selling Edge of Space bobbleheads to support crowd-funded space weather research.
