Rhinos are presently experiencing the Perseid Meteor Showers, which will last a few more weeks. If you go out after dark and stay patient, there will be a stunning astro-display. It occurs annually, We think. Go where it’s darkest, and pack a picnic.

This phenomenon is named for Perseus, who slew the Medusa, quite a while ago. The meteors seemed to come from the constellation Perseus, explaining the title. (See the upper left corner, where P’s feet are shown.)

Some meteors do land on Earth, so keep your eyes peeled, especially if you live in Antarctica, where meteors tend to cluster (so We are told). (Many thanks to Mr. Ken McCarthy for the nudge.)
