- List of meteor showers. In 2021, the Eta Aquarids will peak on the night between May 5–6. May Meteor Shower. Also sometimes spelled as Eta Aquariid, the meteor shower is usually active between April 19 and May 28 every year.
Toyota 2j diesel manual. TAMPA (CBSMiami/CNN) – Considered the Northern Hemisphere’s most popular meteor shower of the year, the Perseid meteor shower will peak Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Once evening falls, expect to see a meteor, or a “shooting star,” streak across the sky every few minutes. Hopefully, the sky will be clear for the best viewing.
If you can’t get out to have a look, you may still be able to catch a glimpse of meteors over the next two nights.
Perseid meteors are caused by dust and debris left behind from the tail of the comet Swift-Tuttle.
The comet Swift-Tuttle orbits the sun once every 133 years, so every August, the Earth passes through the comet’s debris field. The ice and dust, accumulating over a thousand years, burn up in our atmosphere to create the meteor shower. The Perseids showcase more bright meteors than any other annual meteor shower.
The meteors themselves are traveling at 132,000 miles per hour, which creates their vivid streaks of light. They can reach between 3,000 and 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit during this shower.

In a debut of a fan-beloved original, Day of the Tentacle, Return of the Tentacle delivers a thrilling, pun and comedy filled point-and-click adventure. Purple Tentacle is back with an ambitious plan to conquer the world, seek revenge, and worst of all, wants to make sure to kill you first! What's more there are the two telltale signs that it's not some lookalike or wannabe. One: he left a note scrawled on purple paper! And two: it's signed at the bottom, 'Insincerely Yours, Purple!'
You will soon meet the characters of Bernard, Hoagie, Laverne, and Dr. Fred, as apparently you still have some unfinished business with the Edisons. Apparently he wants to send you back in time to try and stop the events of the past day or two, using his signature Chron-o-wash invention to send you into the past. With a signature caricature cartoon style of animations and crafty puzzles to befall you at every turn, you will find yourself going from Eureka moments to simply scratching your head and back again. And although later on you can only control one of the characters at a time, some sense of cooperation will be required to successfully complete some of the puzzles! At times though, it'll feel like the three of you are a bit of a guinea pig squad.
In terms of controls, it is quite similar to old-style point-and-click games. At the bottom of your screen, you'll find a retractable inventory to hold all manner of crazy contraptions you will assemble around the mansion. Toward the bottom-right, you will be able to switch between your characters at certain stages of the game, as hinted towards earlier. You can click generally anywhere in a room to walk around, and on certain hotspots to prompt an interaction if applicable. Click on an item from your inventory, followed by another click on the environment to use that item on it. You will also be able to click on an item, then on one of the other characters in the bottom-right, to be able to pass items along, should you need someone else to use them.
Despite that it is billed only as a demo, Return of the Tentacle delivers a thrilling and mostly self-contained plot. Paired along with it is excellent voice acting of the characters. Of course, it wouldn't be good business to not invent a few cliffhangers toward the end, but I think you'll find a satisfying amount of content present throughout the game. And if all that's not enough for you, there's some achievement-hunting for the inner completionist in all of you!
(In)sincerely Yours,
Arceus
