For us Stargazers!
this is a great website to observe the dates in which you can witness a meteor shower.
When I was 10, I have always been fascinated by the sky, the moon and stars especially, and when i got into middle school i learned more about our galaxy and even the universe! My first meteor shower show was when I about 13, i was playing around in creating a website, on AOL, i got a friend message me telling me to go outside, make sure it's dark around my area, then look up. I went outside, looked at the sky, and saw stripes of light shooting by. I was amazed and in awe that i ignored everything around me and just enjoyed the show. I cannot remember how long it lasted but it lasted enough to inspire me to follow every meteor shower that I can see and experience that show again. Unfortunately I also cannot remember what was the name of that meteor shower, so since then I have been watching all the meteor showers that has occurred and was viewable in my city and could never find anything like what I have seen.
Maybe you guys out there who are not in the city life, hardly no lights, can see the spectacular show! It's a great and wonderful experience you must watch at least once in your life! (or in my case 40000000 times!)

That website also gives you moon phases, times of sunrises and sunsets, eclipses, and much more. That website has been my guide to watching meteor showers for almost 7 years!
