Don't sit there go outside.......
(BangkokPost.com) тАУ Mothers are in for another treat on MotherтАЩs Day.
At around 10 pm on Sunday night, the Perseid meteor shower is expected to provide a magnificent display of lights in the sky.
The meteor display will reach its peak at around 2am, where stargazers will be able to see up to one meteor a minute.
The Perseid meteor shower happens every year on August 12. The meteors are from comet Swift-Tuttle, as the earth moves through its tail
Astronomers suggested Thai stargazers move away from city lights in order to catch the best view of the shower. The display can be admired with the naked eye.
Weather experts said, however, that locals in Mae Hong Sorn will not get the privilege of enjoying the тАЬshowтАЭ because of extremely cloudy conditions.
