On the Night between August 12-13 2013 me and my father ventured out to Mt. Horeb, ON near Omemee to witness this year's stellar Perseid meteor shower. The night started out with a few clouds, but at around 2:30am the clouds all dissipated as the shower's radiant near zenith and the showered peaked. WOW, what a sight, from faint little shooting stars to several fireballs, This years' shower did not disappoint. At one point we were seeing about one shooting star every 20 or so seconds. According to the International Meteor Organization, the rate was about 85 meteors per hour during the shower's peak.
