Your sign to watch the annual Perseid meteor shower is written in the stars. Between late night and predawn from Friday, Aug. 11-Sunday, Aug. 13, Middle Tennesseans will see the Perseids peak.
Experts predict a more ideal viewing experience this year than last as the moon will be in a waning crescent phase and producing less light in the night sky. Of course, this also means Nashvillians will need to drive away from the city neon to see Mother Nature do its thing. Consider camping at one of these recommended locations this weekend:
- Long Hunter State Park | 2910 Hobson Pk.
- Bledsoe Creek State Park | 400 Zieglers Fort Rd., Gallatin
- Edgar Evins State Park | 1630 Edgar Evins State Park Rd., Silver Point
