Saturday night into Sunday morning will be the peak time for you to catch a glimpse of the Lyrid meteor shower...
As the second week of August comes to an end, it brings forth a sparkling light show in the sky. On Thursday and Friday night, viewing of the annual Perseid meteor shower will be at its peak – and with forecasters predicting perfect conditions and this year's outburst to be double than normal, it gives you every reason to set out for some late-night stargazing.
There's no better place than Northern Colorado to see celestial events, thanks to our clear crystal skies. Next week you'll have a chance to see a meteor shower here in Fort Collins.
