Watch Those Skies - Perseids

[sandgk]

The Perseids will peak sometime around this weekend. Hopefully, with clear skies and little light pollution (go camping - why not?), this years show could be a special one.

Always a treat the Perseids will start trickling in on Friday night and peak right around Sunday night, August 13th. Because the moon will be new no other light source, aside from the stars should interfere.

Enjoy.

One of the cool things about Taos is our "Dark Skies" ordinance.
Preventing businesses from having large lights which light up the sky.
With no air pollution to speak of(other than from all the bean burritos), we have very beautiful night skies!
Perfect for viewing meteors and UFOs and such.
