Meteors are predicted! There going to be everywhere! Look up in the sky to see, but if you’re in the city you won’t see much. The light pollution from the city will obscure your view.

Get out in the country under clear dark skies to have the best views of the coming meteor showers.

Read the article in the San Francisco Chronicle about the upcoming meteor showers over this next month or so.

METEOR SHOWERS
For sky lights, put big city behind you

The night time is the right time – right now – for a spectacular sky party.

All the key factors are synchronizing for a big show, where up to 100 shooting stars per hour are visible on many nights. Peak nights can be even better.

Over the next few weeks, three meteors showers will converge, with the best shows expected July 28-30 and Aug. 12-13. The timing is good because with few forest fires so far this year, skies are clear over most of Northern California, pristine in the high country. In addition, the viewing conditions look to be excellent in the next 10 days, with a new moon (dark) having arrived Tuesday; the next full moon won’t arrive until Aug. 5.
