Gamma Delphinid Meteor Shower "Outburst" Predicted Tonight

If it happens, it will be most visible from North America and South America, around 1:30 am PST tonight:
"Peter Jenniskins, research scientist with the SETI Institute and NASA Ames Research Center, has examined dust outbursts from long-period comets and suggests the Gamma Delphinids may return for a brief moment of splendor, as Earth passes through this stream of cometary debris not seen since 1930."

If you miss the one tonight, or it doesn't turn out to be as strong as hoped, there should be some Perseid meteors in the sky during my workshop in Bodie August 9:

I captured the photo below during the Perseid Meteor shower in 2009.  To see a time-lapse video of the Perseid meteor shower, here's one of my meteor shower videos on +YouTube:
