Re: Tau Herculids - Meteor Shower
*Constellation of Hercules. June 3rd is the peak date for this shower (a Friday night! Yay!). The radiant is Corona Borealis. The shower has about a month-long duration.
Will average 15 meteors per hour. Most are expected to be faint, but "sharp-eyed" folks should enjoy it.

Good luck.
