First post in a very long time ...:)


I unfortunately haven't seen a single shooting star! It's been way too cloudy up here.

Can the meteor shower tonight be viewed from New-Zealand? I am interested in watching this but am curious about the difference time-zones and what time it will be visible in NZ, or if it will be visible.

I'm not sure Brittany2907, to be honest. I'll try and find out though.

It says in this article that in the southern hemisphere you won't be able to see many Perseids, because Perseus barely rises above the horizon in the southern hemisphere. That's a pity :(
