Got my solar eclipse glasses ready for tomorrow! I'm also excited to be watching the Perseid meteor shower Wednesday night! I love summertime...

Oh ty! I don't pay attention to anything much lately, so I probably would have never known. I might be too deep in the city lights for the meteor shower, but I do have eclipse glasses sitting somewhere!

I know there will be all kinds of live streams happening for both events:

NASA Live - NASA

NASA live: Follow live television broadcasts on NASA+, the agency's streaming service, and NASA's social media channels with this schedule of upcoming live events including news briefings, launches and landings.

Seeing shooting stars from my suburban area (where there are street lights and lights from neighboring houses ) last summer was cool, but seeing them from outside an Airbnb in Merritt Island, Florida (much darker sky there) was way better. I really wish I was back in a glamping tent at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park for this event, because that's a certified dark sky park...and the starry sky there is out of this world. See what I did there?

I don't know if there are any New Yorkers here, but I found out last summer that a good dark sky in New York is all the way out on Montauk, Long Island...right outside of the Montauk Point lighthouse. I was able to look up and see The Milky Way!

I’ve never seen my community social channels blow up about ‘eclipse glasses’ so much since 1999!

My brother got married on Maui in August a few years ago. After almost 20 hours of flights, getting a taxi to the condo, walking down to the water with a beer on the deck and watching the Perseid shower on the first night was unreal.

That sounds AMAZING!
