Meteor Shower 8/10/12-8/13/12

I was lucky enough to read about this tonight, I even saw a few and they were beauuutiful. <3
There's a meteor shower for people in the western hemisphere from Aug 10-13th, best visibility is at 2-5am.
I suggest going out there because it's a breathtaking sight to see.

I heard there's one that comes annually in October elsewhere. Check if you can see that one!

I didn't read the whole article, but from what I skimmed through in the basil comments, I doubt that it will be visible in southern Sweden huh?

Of course not. I just don't want people to miss out, I missed out on a couple things like this a while back and I was really bummed.

Meteor showers are definitely something everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.

I drove 30 miles outside of Houston two summers ago to lay in the grass and see one with my then-boyfriend. It's really something. Got to see a couple red and blue ones too. And made a wish.
