Pesky Moon
August 12th, 2008 at 7:50pm
We so wanted to see some of 2008 Perseid meteor shower that was peaking last night…but conditions were against us. Normally, the moon is totally cool…but not last night. Too much light! Because of a late-setting waxing gibbous moon the sky was much too light until the moon set…and that wasn’t until well after midnight…long after all of us were tucked into our beds for the night. It was also a bit hazy last night, so that didn’t help either.
We’ll try again tonight…but it is expected to be mostly the same as last night.
