16 Of The Best Celestial Songs: A Perseid Meteor Shower Playlist
Every year in the month of August, the Perseid Meteor Shower lights up the night sky. Timing couldn't be better for us here at Scholastic seeing as the theme of our Summer Reading Challenge (happening now) is "Reading Under the Stars." The shower will peak late tonight and into early tomorrow morning—let's celebrate with a celestial playlist! Turn up these tunes, grab a book about the solar system, and head outside to watch. (You can find book recommendations that cover everything from planets to stars to aliens here.)
