A Shower with Power

By Megan Guidarelli, Neighborhood Contributor

This Wednesday, take a moment to watch the shooting stars blaze their trails across the sky. February 8th will be choice viewing for the Alpha Centaurids Meteor Shower. Peaking from 10pm until dawn, the Alphas are a slightly smaller meteor shower, but are still said to be able to produce several outbursts an hour. Consider this a wonderful excuse for night owls to cuddle with a cup of cocoa and each another. If you plan on taking some time to watch the starry sky this Wednesday, be sure to face southeast towards the constellation Centaurus around 10pm. This is when the meteors should begin to streak directly overhead. Here in Kings Ridge there are plenty of great places to see the shower uninterrupted. Little to no light pollution gives us our beautifully dark and clear sky!
