Perseid Meteorite shower 2010

Just so you know: if you are in the northern hemisphere you should try to be in a dark place on the night of August 12th so you see the Perseid Meteorite shower this year.
 Apparently (this is from NASA) the shower happens at the same time than a planet alignment.

Here is an image from NASA:
This is what they say: "Looking northeast around midnight on August 12th-13th. The red dot is the Perseid radiant. Although Perseid meteors can appear in any part of the sky, all of their tails will point back to the radiant."
Check their full page about it at: NASA Science News.
