National Night Out website

America's Night Out Against Crime! When: Tue Aug 06th, 2013 7-10PM Where: Your Neighborhood!

Last year millions of people, from every state, across 15,000 communities participated in events to help make communities safe and raise awareness about anticrime programs.

National Night Out is a time when individuals and groups are encourgaged to gather together after dark in parks and other public places for wholesome activities. The idea is to symbolically reclaim our public spaces by using them, encouraging other people to use them and making the space feel safe, and discouraging illegal and anti-social activity.

Don't let crime control your neighborhood.

This Summer's Biggest Show Is In The Sky! When: Aug 10-14, 2012 12AM-Dawn Where: Northeast Sky, 25' degrees above horizon

Grab a lawn chair and a blanket -- and watch the show!

The annual August Perseid meteor shower probably ranks as the all-time favorite meteor shower of the year. This major shower takes place during the lazy, hazy days of summer, when many families are on vacation. And what could be more fun than watching this summertime classic?

No matter where you live, the 2013 Perseid meteor shower will probably be at its best on the nights of August 11-12 and/or August 12-13 with little to no interference from the waxing crescent moon. Try the nights before and after that, too. Before dawn viewing is best. You'll often see 50 to 100 meteors per hour. They radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus the Hero, and are typically fast and bright meteors frequently leaving persistent trails. Each year, the Perseid's combine with the Delta Aquarid meteor shower to produce the year’s most dazzling display of shooting stars! (Tips for best viewing below.)
