UPDATE..... So, the farm is super wet and squishy. I think we will have to reschedule the Farm Party.

Perseids meteor shower
Next period of activity: July 14th, 2024 to September 1st, 2024
The Perseids are the most popular meteor shower as they peak on warm August nights as seen from the northern hemisphere. The Perseids are active from July 14 to September 1. They reach a strong maximum on August 12 or 13, depending on the year. Normal rates seen from rural locations range from 50-75 shower members per hour at maximum. The Perseids are particles released from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle during its numerous returns to the inner solar system. They are called Perseids since the radiant (the area of the sky where the meteors seem to originate) is located near the prominent constellation of Perseus the hero when at maximum activity. In 2024, the half illuminated moon will set near 1am local daylight saving time. This is a favorable coincidence as this is the time that strong activity begins to occur from this shower.
Shower details - Radiant: 03:13 +58° - ZHR: 100 - Velocity: 37 miles/sec (swift - 59km/sec) - Parent Object: 109P/Swift-Tuttle
Next Peak - The Perseids will next peak on the Aug 11-12, 2024 night. On this night, the moon will be 44% full.
