According to spaceweather.com, yesterday morning all-sky cameras at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, recorded 25+ meteors, most as bright as Jupiter or Venus, which are believed to be an outburst of "September Perseids," a little-known shower that has erupted this way three times in the past century. I actually saw a shooting star this morning while driving from New York City to Poughkeepsie, so this rare meteor shower might be visible tonight as well. Happy meteor hunting!
