'Perseid Meteor Shower' is it real?

          I was curious about this kind of meteor shower I read online. I was doubtful about it. I searched it on google right away and this is  what I found.

        The Perseids ( /ˈpɜrsiː.ɨdz/) is the name of a prolific meteor associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so-called because the point they appear to come from, called the radiant, lies in the constellation.  PeseusThe name derives in part from the word Perseides (Περσείδες), a term found in Greek mythology referring to the sons of Perseus. The stream of debris is called the Perseid cloud and stretches along the orbit of the comet Swift-Tuttle. The cloud consists of particles ejected by the comet as it travels on its 130-year orbit. Most of the dust in the cloud today is around a thousand years old. However, there is also a relatively young filament of dust in the stream that was pulled off the comet in 1862.
      The shower is visible from mid-July each year, with the peak in activity being between August 9 and 14, depending on the particular location of the stream. During the peak, the rate of meteors reaches 60 or more per hour.They can be seen all across the sky, but because of the path of Swift-Tuttle's orbit, Perseids are primarily visible in the northern hemisphere. As with all meteor showers, the rate is greatest in the pre-dawn hours, since the side of the Earth nearest to turning into the sun scoops up more meteors as the Earth moves through space.

              This year (2011) it is expected to hit its peak activity in the overnight hours of Friday and Saturday (Aug. 13)as the International Space Station flies across the sky above many U.S. cities. While the full moon of August may interfere with the meteor display, the best time to catch the pretty light show (weather permitting) is during the predawn hours, especially on Saturday morning, experts at NASA advise.

          It got my mind thinking if it is really real or just some theory about something unreliable. As for the question if it is real? We'll  about to find out tonight (august 12,2011). Me and my sister will stay up all night and witness if it is a real wonder or just an unproven theory. You can too, if the weather in your area  permits a clear skies. It is thrilling to discover how true this will be. And if it is,, no doubt, God has a unique and greatest-above-and-beyond creation in the whole wide universe. Don't you want to be a part of this wonderful event and be inspired and witness God's awesome creation? I am hoping for the best experience to all of us.

      If you couldn't see or experience this wonderful event tonight and you actually tried? Atleast you had fun with your friend, family or acquaintance waiting for the 'Perseid Meteor Shower' to arrive. ☺
