Meteors set to be out of this world..
David Moore
THE Perseid meteor shower will reach its peak next Tuesday and Wednesday night with 20 times more shooting stars visible than normal.
You can see them from dusk until dawn and Astronomy Ireland is asking everyone to help count them.
Editor David Moore said: “This has real scientific value as we only know how these meteor showers develop by members of the public counting them while they view the beautiful spectacle of nature that is a meteor shower.”
Astronomy Ireland has asked stargazers to count how many they see every 15 minutes and send them to the address given on their astronomy. ie website.
