The 2007 Perseid meteor shower starts tonight at about 9.00pm.

Look for Perseid Earthgrazers - the long, slow and colourful meteors that make camping out all night worthwhile.

Please post your own photographs of the ones you see in this thread, but, in the meantime, here's the one on the above webpage:

Where should I look which direction. And what time in Mich.

Re: O/T: Don\'t forget! Stars tonight!
 

It's from 10pm your time, wherever you are. The show will last all night.

The ones I've seen so far have been coming from NE, but they're so bright you just have to look straight up and they'll catch your attention.
