For a different kind of star, head out to the country to catch the annual Perseid meteor shower, which peaks in the wee morning hours of August 12 (and we mean early; the best time to catch it will likely be around 2 AM to 5 AM). Head to your local dark field, golf course, empty parking lot away from the city lights, or what have you; settle in with a lawn chair and a mug of coffee; and enjoy!
