heute: ... die Perseiden? Sie schauern demnächst wieder, sagt "Sky & Telescope" voraus:

"Go out after about 11 or midnight or so, lie back, and gaze up at the stars,"[Anm. d. Red.: was für eine gute Idee!] says SKY & TELESCOPE senior editor Alan MacRobert. "Relax, be patient, and let your eyes adapt to the dark. With a little luck you'll see a 'shooting star' at least every few minutes on average." Perseids can appear anywhere and everywhere in the sky. So the best direction to watch is wherever your sky is darkest, probably straight up. Faint Perseids appear as tiny, quick streaks. Occasional brighter ones may sail across the heavens for several seconds and leave a brief train of glowing smoke.
