2009 Perseids Meteor Shower Update

Hey guys, I just want to inform you that this year's Perseids meteor shower is expected to reach its peak at 1730 GMT on August 12(0130 on August 13 Malaysia local time). Unfortunately this year's visible meteor count may be lower(probably by 50%) due to moon's approach to the last quarter, which is almost certainly going to obscure the fainter meteors. You will nevertheless still be able to see the brighter ones =)

I will definitely be staying up to catch the 2009 shower, will you?











PS: It will be raining across the northern sky, so look north! ;)
Thanks for reading! =)
