The annual Perseid meteor shower peaked last night, and I thought I’d pull together a few related resources.

Here are The Best Sites For Learning About Meteor Showers (and are accessible to English Language Learners):

MSNBC has a very good interactive on meteor showers.

The Christian Science Monitor has a slideshow on meteor showers.

The Los Angeles Times has a series of photos of the Perseid meteor shower.

Meteors In The Night Sky is a slideshow from The Wall Street Journal.

Perseid meteor shower puts on a spectacular show is a slideshow from The Guardian.

All About Meteors comes from Space.com.

Kidipede gives a simple explanation of meteors.

Please let me know if I’m missing some sites.
