(meteorobs) Fwd: "Sky-Watcher Alert: Meteor Show Peaks This Week"

[Lewis J. Gramer]

Excellent article, Joe! I especially liked the "hood ornament" image you
used, when explaining why meteor rates are often higher after midnight! :)
 
Clear skies,
Lew

A very nice article on the South Delta Aquarids and the other late
July showers appeared on the National Geographic News site this week,
written by long-time meteor-friendly science writer, John Roach:

And NO, I don't just think the article is nice because I'm in it. ;->

It's a rare article that even mentions meteors outside of the times
of the "Big 3" major showers - Perseids, Leonids, Geminids. And John
published articles on the Lyrids and Taurids in the past, as well...

Here is an article pretty much in the same vein that I wrote for SPACE.com, that was picked-up by the folks over at CNN:
