This is also known as the T-Square Convergence: PLANETS ALIGN FOR THE PERSEIDS: Mark your calendar- On Thursday, August 12th, an alignment of planets in the sunset sky will kick off the finest meteor shower of 2010, the Perseids. Solar wind speed has remained consistent over the last 8 days- perhaps an early indication that solar intensity is strengthening. Geomagnetic activity has subsided to low levels and the aurora show of August 3rd and 4th has come to an end but the Earth could face another potential geomagnetic storm as early as next week. Sunspots have erupted across the entire surface of the Sun, facing Earth. Sunspots 1092 and 1093 pose a threat for C-class solar flares. -Space Weather

All four heavenly objects will fit within a circle about 10 degrees in diameter, beaming together through the dusky colors of sunset. No telescope is required to enjoy this naked-eye event. Stay up late and the Perseid meteor shower will be peaking too. Friendly Regards, Mike Gilchrist Disruptive Technologist Advanced Wireless Express P.O.
