Peaks at 4 am in Northern America- will be amazing! I have been watching all week- great shows- If you go outside now and look northeast you will see some meteors and it wills only get better! Look to the Northeast late night tonight- look for Mars(which is beautiful and hypnotic-brightest light in the sky)- heres the map for best viewing-

Right you are. I looked into it; various time quoted depending where you call home on this globe.

 

Good call - I've a small amount of light pollution where I sit, and it's a steamy night but I'll hope to get a look-see. These events are awe-inspiring. How folks can look to the heaven's magnificent occurances and declare we are nothing but a random collection of aimless nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen escapes me. That's a coldness in large contrast to the warmth I see exchanged by people on a daily basis.

 

Pete - I really appreciate the "heads up", sorry; a pun unavoidable. I hope from your vantage, you get a good show. Funny how they seem to make a slight rise, before they tumble downward.
