Q:Best Place To View Perseids in 2008?

A: Inside the Walter R. Schuele Planetarium.
The peak of the annual Perseids Meteor Shower coincides with a full moon this year, making the "shooting stars" more difficult to see. The Schuele Planetarium will host its annual Perseids Night Viewing Party Tuesday night (August 12) at the height of the shower, but Planetarium Director Jay Reynolds says the best views may be inside during a special 7 p.m. star show. Reynolds discussed the Perseids today on WTAM-Radio.
