DS Generally, a streak of light in the sky. Some are dim, some are quite bright. There are several meteor showers which will be peaking toward the end of the month or on into August (the best known of which, the Perseid meteor shower, peaking in mid August). So, if your skies remain clear and your site is moderately dark, you should see some good examples within a few weeks. |
