"Summer meteor showers descend"

(SPACE.com) -- Summer is the season for shooting stars, and this year could be among the best as the annual Perseid meteor shower promises to be better than usual.

Anyone gazing at the summer night sky for even a short length of time now through the end of August is likely to spot a few streaks of otherworldly light. In general, the Earth encounters richer meteoric activity during the second half of the year.

The best meteor display of the summer comes during the second week of August, during the Perseid event. At its peak around the nights of Aug. 11 and 12, the shower can produce 50 to 100 fast, bright meteors per hour for any observer with a wide-open view of a dark sky.

I didn't know the above but some of the muslims ramblings I have thought they sounded like prayers and this would fit in. They are praying for the sun to burn us up.

But I still think they are going to do some big attack of some sort. Along the lines of the WTC.
