When is the best time to view the Perseid Meteor Shower?
According to Astronomy.com, the Perseid Meteor shower has some added bonuses this year: It will occur on a night when the moon is in its waning crescent phase, which means the moonlight won't interfere with your view of the dashing meteors, and it's on a Saturday night, which means people can stay up late and sleep in the next day. Although it isn't looking good for Medford residents right now: Forecasters are predicting cloudy skies Aug. 12 in the Medford area. Perseid Meteor Trivia:
