## Resource

Get ready for a cosmic spectacle—the Perseids meteor shower is here, and this year’s peak promises to be one of the best ever, thanks to a new moon creating pitch-black skies. With up to 100 meteors per hour blazing across the night, don’t miss the show after midnight, when the sky’s darkest. These shooting stars are cosmic dust from Comet Swift-Tuttle, burning up at 37 miles per second. Also keep an eye out for the Alpha Capricornids and Southern Delta Aquariids. No gear needed—just find a dark spot, let your eyes adjust, and watch the heavens light up. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
