What do you mean by persied?

I think he means Perseid. But the same site that spells it that way has a reference to it using Persied:

Why is it called Perseids?
The radiant point, or the area in which the meteors will appear to be radiating from is in the constellation Perseus. You will see meteor streaks, and possibly even fireballs coming from other directions. But if you can keep the corner of your eye on perseus, you will probably see more.

Ah name pala ng meteor shower. I though it was something that we should look out for within the shower. :D

04:00AM Eastern time? May DST ba dun ngayon? Pano kaya matyetyempuhan dito sa atin yan?

it's visible late july up to august, but yung peak niya aug 12,13, pinaka marami, although I tried this morning wala akong nakita, kasi cloudy and nasa city ako (light pollution), and hindi ako sure kung saan part ng sky hahanapin :D
northeast daw yata hindi east, near the horizon yata, nagtatanong pa ako

ungas, kung ano-ano kasi naiisip mo sa shower e

j/k lang

Don't worry kiper gising na ako ng ganyan kaaga. :D

Pustahan tayo, Si Pajerokid magiinvite yan ng 3 boys na tropa niya at isang girl. Tapos manonood sila ng astronomical phenomenon na yan sa isang open field preferably isang soccer field or something wide grassy area. Tapos may background music na....
