CELESTIAL FIREWORKS Fireballs will cross the night sky in rare meteor shower that ‘peaks’ this weekend – how to get the best view

SPACE fireworks are about to explode in our night skies as up to 100 meteors streak through Earth's atmosphere per hour.

The dazzling display comes from the Perseid meteor shower - known for its fireballs and long "wakes" of light and color.

Stargazers consider the rare event, which peaks in mid-August, to be the best meteor shower of the year, according to Nasa.

That's because Earth is currently passing through cosmic debris trails originating from Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle.

And it will be at its most showiest this weekend, with about 50 to 100 shooting stars visible per hour.

The incredible event has a spectacular peak overnight from August 11, and into the early hours of August 12, said the American Meteor Society.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Sunday night would be a good night to drop some blotter and spend time on the roof.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
