Just so you know, the June Bootids meteor shower... - Geologise.

Just so you know, the June Bootids meteor shower continues tonight, June 27th, 2012. The shower will be visible until the 1st of July.

I’ve placed a red circle for the radiant area in which the meteors can be seen shooting from. The constellations are labelled, and luckily enough the showers happen right near Ursa Major (where the “Big Dipper” is located), which is a constellation everyone knows and is usually visible even in busy cities. Clear skies, everyone!
Read more about it here if you want more information for the next few days.
