to help give you a glimpse of the 2017 Solar Eclipse.
 
While the event is a total solar eclipse this is not the case for our location in Kingston . We will however see greater than 50% of the sun blocked by the Moon.

The 2017 Perseids will peak on the night of Saturday 2017 August 12 and early morning hours of Sunday August 13.
This year, a Waning Gibbous Moon may hinder a good view of the meteor shower.  Full moon is on Monday August 7th.
The best method to visually observe this meteor shower:
- find a place in your backyard away from streetlights and house lights.
