Will 12th August miss the night ?

So yet again media, newspapers are running stories claiming that 12th August won’t have night at all.
Yes, it sounds exciting, and so the photo becomes viral on whatsapp.

But it’s actually Fake, rather exaggeration of a small event.
12th August will witness a huge Meteor Shower which is going to be quite bright.

While choosing a site to view total solar #eclipse, remember to find a place to view Perseid #Meteor Shower
