Perseid Meteor Showers Beginning

More reasons to visit the BWCA today!

THE PERSEID METEOR SHOWER IS BEGINNING: Earth is entering the outskirts of a broad stream of debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Forecasters don’t expect the shower to peak until Aug.11-13, but already NASA cameras are detecting Perseid fireballs streaking across the night sky as the shower slowly intensifies. Visit http://spaceweather.com to see the first Perseid of 2016.
