Hey lovebirds!

Tomorrow night will be the perfect date night for any couple out there! Get out of the city and into the country side, bring some snacks (hell, bring the wine too). Put a blanket down, hold her hand (if you're single, hold your own hand), look up and make 150 wishes per hour.

There in the sacred skies, you will see one of the most remarkable meteor showers in history. You do not want to miss this beautiful light show. If you are a photographer with special camera that can capture celestial magic, this is a perfect night for you!

Why is this happening?

Well, the official story is that we are passing through the Comet Swift-Tuttle. They say it's "largest object" known to pass by earth. Personally, I don't believe this story for a second, but that's besides the point. But on the slight chance this is actually true (which I highly doubt because I don't trust NASA), the next time we get a show like this will be in 2126. Unless there's some breakthrough in technology that gives us a 200-year life expectancy, I don't plan to be alive.

With the moon almost 2/3 full, it may limit the amount of meteors to 40 to 50 an hour due to the brightness, but it will still be an amazing sight to see.
