There is one tonight. If you can stay up late, they are a good free thing to do with a girl. I have done it before with success.

Your neck will not get sore from looking up if you can lay back on a lounge chair or blanket. And bring bug repellent - those are my two tips from experience.

Celestial events like meteor showers and sunsets make great dates, because when a women likes you, even though you really didn't do anything, she will instantly think of you as being romantic and brag to all of her friends about you. And unlike any traditional "Hallmark Holiday" symbol of romance - it's all free!

Strong Meteor Shower Expected Tonight
Robert Roy Britt
SPACE.com

The annual Perseid meteor shower is expected to put on a good show this week for those willing to get up in the wee hours of the morning and wait patiently for the shooting stars.

In North America, the best time to watch will be between midnight to 5 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12, but late Tuesday night and also Wednesday night could prove fruitful, weather permitting.

The Perseids are always reliable, and sometimes rather spectacular. The only things that puts a damper on the August show are bad weather or bright moonlight. Unfortunately this week, as the Perseids reach their peak Tuesday and Wednesday nights, the moon will be high in the sky, outshining the fainter meteors.

Still, skywatchers around the globe will have a good chance of spotting the brighter meteors. Some already are enjoying the show.

Already underway

The Perseids are bits of debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, which has laid down several streams of debris, each in a slightly different location, over the centuries as it orbits the sun. Every August, Earth passes through these debris streams, which spread out over time.

"They are typically fast, bright and occasionally leave persistent trains," says Joe Rao, SPACE.com's Skywatching Columnist. "And every once in a while, a Perseid fireball will blaze forth, bright enough to be quite spectacular and more than capable to attract attention even in bright moonlight."

Low numbers of Perseids, including some bright fireballs, have already been reported as Earth began entering the stream in late July. Seasoned observers have counted up to 25 per hour already, or nearly one every two minutes.

Most meteors are no bigger than a pea. They vaporize as they enter Earth's atmosphere, creating bright streaks across the sky.

The Perseids appear to emanate from the constellation Perseus, which rises high in the sky around midnight and is nearly overhead by dawn. Like most meteor showers, the hours between midnight and daybreak are typically the best time to watch, because that's when the side of Earth you are on is rotating into the direction of Earth's travels through space, so meteors are "scooped up" by the atmosphere at higher rates, much like a car's windshield ends the lives of more bugs than does the rear bumper.

Astronomers expect up to 200 meteors per hour in short bursts of up to 15 minutes or so. But many of the fainter meteors will simply not be visible due to moonlight, and rates will go down even more for those in urban areas. More likely a typical observer under reasonably dark skies might hope to see a meteor every couple minutes when the bursts come, and fewer during lulls.

When to watch

The best time to watch is between midnight and dawn Wednesday. Forecasters say the best stretch could come between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. ET (1-2 a.m. PT), which would be after daybreak in Europe. Some Perseids might be visible late Tuesday night, and Wednesday night into Thursday morning could prove worthwhile, too.

Meteor forecasting is still in its infancy, however, so the best bet for anyone truly hungry to spot shooting stars is to get in as much observing time as possible from around 11 p.m. Tuesday night until dawn Wednesday, and if you miss that show, try the same time frame Wednesday evening into Thursday morning.

Meteors should be visible in the pre-dawn hours, weather permitting, all around the Northern Hemisphere.

"Earth passes through the densest part of the debris stream sometime on Aug. 12," said Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "Then, you could see dozens of meteors per hour."

Viewing tips

The best location is far from city and suburban lights. Ideally, find a structure, mountain or tree to block the moon. Then scan as much of the sky as possible. The meteors can appear anywhere, heading in any direction. If you trace their paths backward, they'll all point to the constellation Perseus.

People in locations where any chill might occur should dress warmer than they think necessary to allow for prolonged viewing.

Seasoned skywatchers advise using a blanket or lounge chair for comfort, so you can lie back and look up for long periods. Allow at least 15 minutes for your eyes to fully adjust to the darkness. Then expect meteors to be sporadic: You might see two in a row, or several minutes could go by between shooting stars.

Avid meteor watchers might want to try scanning the northeastern horizon from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. local time (your local time, wherever you are) for Perseids that graze the horizon.

"Earthgrazers are meteors that approach from the horizon and skim the atmosphere overhead like a stone skipping across the surface of a pond," Cooke explained. "They are long, slow and colorful – among the most beautiful of meteors." He notes that an hour of watching may net only a few of these at most, but seeing even one can make the whole night worthwhile.

Peaks tonight! After 10pm seen some last year with my hunneh and one of them left a huge smoke trail across the sky for quite some time. My wife thought it was gunna hit the earth.

Seen a bright green one last year also that lit the ground up like day light at around midnight and it streaked across the sky also bright neon green and blue.

Also 2 years before that seen an even bigger bright greeny blue one go slow across the sky with an orange green and blue tail while ii was up early before daylight while hunting taking a pizz .. Lit the snow covered ground up like day light also... Tried to find news on it when I got home but nothin... Was crazy... Both the blue/green ones were.

Prepare for the Perseids.

This week, the annual meteor shower will illuminate the night sky with cosmic fireworks, creating a particularly dazzling display for skygazers across the Northern Hemisphere.

NASA estimates that between 160 and 200 meteors will ignite in Earth’s atmosphere every hour during the display’s peak on Thursday night and Friday morning. Normally the shower has between 80 and 100 space specks.

The best time to watch is before dawn on Friday.

It's cool to view it in a private place and then make out and get it in. Something magical about the meteor showers. Also happens at the northern lights. It's surreal.

Meteor showers would be a great date for sure. Never done it but I just might. Now there is a place near me that sits high above the river valley. Beautiful view night or day. I've taken women there since high school to "watch the submarine races on the river". A few actually believed that submarines raced, while others just went along with it cuz they wanted the same thing I did lol

I live near the beach and it is not uncommon for young women to sit on top of their cars alone or in small groups to watch the sunset.

The interesting thing is I hardly ever see them with guys. They are either alone or with a few friends.

Based on these observations I assume women like watching sunsets near water and/or other types of natural terrain (lakes, mountains, etc).

This could possibly be a low/no-cost date idea.

Yes, and if a man doesn’t live on the coast, the east shore of a good sized lake will also get the job done…
Many women love being near water.

And as a bonus, bug repellent makes for a great lube!
(That's just a joke, please don't actually try it).
