I just went to the Google homepage and was about to search something, but noticed the change of Google's.... icon? avatar? Words? I don't know.. But I clicked on it and tonight there is a Meteor Shower!

Don't miss it! I'm going outside right now to see if I can see anything!

It was last night too but they said tonight would be better - the skies are much clearer. Look to the NE sky by the Cassiopeia constellation (looks like a W or M).

Really? That's a relief..

I looked at the days that it was going on and I thought "CRAP, it was last night!" I felt stupid there for a second lol
 
Great! Thanks for letting us know Brad. We looked last night too, but didn't see anything.
 
We had a fairly good view last night after the clouds cleared away, but the moon is so bright it interferes with it. It will be visible for several nights, just best viewing is supposed to be last night and tonight.
 
I only know about it because DBF sat out until 2:30am and didn't see any either. He's back at it tonight. I'm going to bed

Hope you see some!!
 
I just sat outside for a bit and already saw two! Possibly three I'm not sure. But it was sooo cool! Very awesome! And not little bugs flying around either
