How to see a meteor shower
How I did it: me and my boyfriend during summer of 1998 decided to watch the Perseid meteor shower, so we drove out of the city we lived in in Maryland to the countryside, found an old country lane (it was very dark).
we brought food, snacks and a thermos of coffee and blankets to sit on the roof and hood of the car and we watched the sky for hours and were treated to an amazing show.
Lessons & tips: know the dates and times of the meteor showers and also what the moon phase will be during the time of it, a full moon would be very likely to hinder a shower's viewing.

(this is just for reference now, i think we looked up into on nasa's website back then.)
