Well, what are we waiting for?! [link to www.spaceweather.com] (Current info) POST YOUR SIGHTINGS HERE! Please PIN this! Let's have some fun tonight during the shower! THE PERSEID METEOR SHOWER IS UNDERWAY: Earth is entering a stream of debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Worldwide observers are now reporting more than 30 Perseids per hour, a number that could triple during the weekend when Earth reaches the heart of the debris zone. Forecasters recommend looking during the dark hours before dawn, especially Sunday morning, August 12th, when activity is expected to be highest. Got clouds? Tune into SpaceWeather Radio for live echoes from Perseid meteors flying over the US Space Surveillance Radar in Texas. The multi-station Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar, sponsored by NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, is also monitoring the Perseids. Live data are available here. Bright spots in this sample radar sky map show the radiants of currently active showers: Last Edited by SpeakUpBro on 08/11/2012 10:46 PM I don't tolerate dense and ignorant people but I do have hearts for people.

I'm interested in the symbolism. The main symbolism I see here is the perceived origin of the meteor shower, the constellation Perseus, hence the term, "Perseid." In Greek mythology, Perseus was a hero who destroyed a sea monster at Joppa [now Tel Aviv] to rescue a princess. Perseus married the princess and their son founded Persia [now Iran] hence the origin of the name, Persia. Some say the symbol of St George slaying the dragon originates with Perseus. Like the St George image, the family seal of Cyrus the Great [who founded the Persian empire] was a warrior on horseback spearing a [human] enemy being trampled underfoot. .
