    You can still catch a few of these in the night sky thru the 24th, especially with the moon not shining bright. We have seen several nice ones each night this week.

    The annual Perseid meteor shower is now underway for 2021.

    Anyone been watching...?
    Or planning to watch, now that the weekend is here?

    Sadly, it's been overcast in our area most nights. We did manage to see a couple. Perhaps it will clear up while there is still time to view.

    ...pronounced like the long vowel and first letter of the alphabet...

    Those interested in sky-watching may also want to look for the next full moon, on Wednesday August 30, 2023... if the skies are clear for viewing. It will be a "Blue Moon" (2nd full moon in a calendar month) and also a "Super Moon" (appearing larger and brighter due to proximity to earth).
