	Every year from late July through mid-August, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are treated to nightly fireworks called the Perseid Meteor Shower. The Perseids are brought on as the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle comes in contact with the Earth's Atmosphere. This year brings an additional bonus: Mars will be brightly shining in the sky. If you only have one chance to look up and enjoy the Perseids, choose August 12th, as that is the peak night. __________________ Off to take on other challenges. Good luck everybody!

	I always have problems staying up this late. I saw it once and I'm still waiting for my 50+ wishes. (That's a lot of shooting stars). __________________ "The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet." -William Gibson
