Star Gazing

Ah, beautiful summer nights, cool breeze, dark skies - perfect for looking up. And this week, specifically August 12, the Perseids return to our sky giving us a spectacular meteor show. This week we enjoy a little star gazing music to inspire. Now some of this music is about planets, I'll give you that, but then again - aren't they some of our brightest celestial objects in the night sky? To find out more about meteor showers this year go to Star Date Online.
