We don't have any events planned for this, but be sure to catch the Perseids Meteor Shower this weekend. I haven't missed it for the last few years and it is so worth staying up late for!
NASA has an all-night chat solely for this amazing event - click here:

In the spirit of last Tuesday's meeting, you should know that I downloaded a cool app I use every year specifically for the Perseids. It's called simply "Perseids".
Enjoy!
