How to watch 2017's Perseid meteors
When traced backward on the sky's dome, paths of Perseid meteors originate from the constellation Perseus. Hence, this meteor shower's name. You don't need to know Perseus to see a meteor. They will appear in any and all parts of the sky, mostly in the light of the moon.

It's smoky in the Pacific Northwest

Smoke map released by NOAA’s Hazard Mapping System on August 10. Smoke from wildfires in the U.S. and Canadian West stretches approximately along the path of the August 21 total solar eclipse, but is densest in the Pacific Northwest. The National Interagency Fire Center said that weather will continue to “promote very active fire behavior.”
