Hello Dr. Flescher,
the earthgrazers can be seen most of the time, no matter what. But, the best
way to see them is during observation in rural areas and/or dark nights;
I'm not so sure where you are in now in the USA, but, today, Recife, PE,
Brazil, between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m, is going to have a great shower promising
to present, "at least, 90 meteors per hour" . Above I will try to transcript
a note published in "Jornal do Commercio, Recife, PE, published for all
those interested. I have made made informal contacts with 'Science Space',
and commented about the meteors importance for science. upon my my contacts.
In Portuguese:
"Povo pode ver chuva de Meteoros"
"A chuva de meteoros prevista para hoje pode ser vista a partir das 20h, no
Espaço Ciência, em Olinda, que colocará à disposição do público lunetas,
binóculos e telescópios. O fenômeno, chamado de Perseídeos, terá seu ápice
entre às 23h e as 3h, quando é estimada a passagem de 90 meteoros por hora.
Mais informações pelo telefone: (XX) - 00000000".
In English:
"Public can see Meteor Showers"
"The expected meteor shower for today, can be seen at 8 o'clock, in the
'Space Science', in Olinda, that will afford to the public, binoculars,
telescopies and so on. The phenomenon, called Perseids, will have its best
hour, between 11 p.m. and 3 p.m. (local time), when is estimated the passage
of 90 meteors per hour. More information (XX) - 0000000"
So, Dr. Fletcher, today promises to be a good day wherever we are. But,
according to 'Meteors Outlooks Reports', the best days are August
12/13...Good luck.
