For those in the southern USA right now (12 Aug 12am CDT) trying to see the #perseid #meteor shower, first look for #Cameleopardalis (the #giraffe) in the NNE, then find the #supergiant #star CE-Camelopardis (aka HD21389) which marks his tail, then look down a bit...

Yes, the #perseids are coming out of the giraffe's butt.

#Perseus is probably a bit annoyed by his meteors taking this route, but the giraffe didn't get installed until 1613.
