It’s time again for the annual August meteor-shower fest: the Perseids. This year’s display should be a beauty with only minor moonlight and a special surprise at dawn. Days have been so hot this summer, I've been spending even more time out at night than usual just to cool off. Benefits are many and include breathing in that irresistibly perfumed air, standing under the arch of the Milky Way in shirt sleeves, and lots of stargazing. Becoming as nocturnal as a bat may be a good habit to develop as we approach the peak of one of the year's richest meteor showers: the Perseids. I've never stayed out all night to watch this annual cosmic spitball spectacle. This time, I'm giving it serious thought.
