Well, here's something I always wanted to do and couldn't, participating in an astronomical events observation. One of these is the meteor showers. And I know Lebanon's mountains are great for such observation. So, do you know anyone who is organizing a camp for the upcoming meteor shower this Saturday? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, do you know at what time the meteors will start being visible? And should I look towards the North-East to see them?
