Ok, so we will not get an actual freebie in the mail or at the store. But tonight the sky will put on a fantastic show for free. My son and I look forward to this each year and if you were to come by my house tonight, you would find us camped out on the lawn with our sleeping bags.
All you have to do is look up to the northeastern part of the sky after it gets dark until dawn. The meteorite shower will be visable until about Aug. 24, but tonight is when you will be able to see the most meteorites shoot across the sky.
Here are two links where you can find out more information about the shower and some tips on viewing.
