Hi all.

I was particularly blessed long ago to be in the backcountry of Nova Scotia at this time. We saw this:


The 1991 Perseid meteor shower was notable for an outburst of activity, particularly around August 12th, which was linked to the return of Comet Swift-Tuttle. While the shower's peak activity is typically around August 12-13, the 1991 shower saw a higher than usual rate of meteors, with some observations suggesting rates exceeding 300 meteors per hour according to Harvard University.

As usual, the mid-Atlantic is cloudy when there's a rare cosmic event
