Question

Has there already been a meteor shower in the Ohio area? Is there one yet to come before summers over?

Answer 1

From the Gilroy Dispatch:

"All around the world, not just astronomers but stargazers in general get excited when the Perseids meteor showers approach our skies. And the summer's best is upon us.

The showers will last for about two weeks with good numbers Aug. 17 through Aug. 24. But the peak, or best night to observe, will be Aug. 12. The Perseids showers are remnants from the return of the parent comet Swift-Tuttle back in 1992."
