Dazzling Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight – Your Skywatch Guide for August 11–12, 2025

Dazzling Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight – Your Skywatch Guide for August 11–12, 2025

Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks: The famous Perseid meteor shower is reaching its peak on the nights of August 11–12. Normally the Perseids can produce 50–100 “shooting stars” per hour under dark skies, but this year a glaring 84% full Moon will be in the way science.nasa.gov. The waning gibbous moon rises in late evening and will wash out many of the fainter meteors. “The average person under dark skies could see somewhere between 40 and 50 Perseids per hour” in a moonless year, explains Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office. “Instead, you’re probably going to see 10 to 20 per hour or fewer, and that’s because we have a bright Moon in the sky washing out the fainter meteors” nasa.gov. In other words, expect only ~25% of the usual meteors – but don’t be discouraged! The Perseids are famous for producing “fireballs,” exceptionally bright meteors capable of rivaling Venus’s brilliance and even casting shadows euronews.com. These extra-bright meteors can punch through the moonlight, so keep watching for the occasional spectacular streak.

AOL Disconnects Dial-Up for Good: A nostalgic chapter of internet history is closing. AOL, once synonymous with getting online, announced it will discontinue its dial-up internet service on September 30, 2025, after a 34-year run theverge.com. In a quiet statement on its website, the Yahoo-owned company said “AOL routinely evaluates its products and services and has decided to discontinue Dial-up Internet,” adding that the dial-up software and browser “will be discontinued” by end of September theverge.com. The decision marks the end of an era that introduced millions to the internet’s early days. Tech observers noted that while only a few hundred thousand users still cling to dial-up in the U.S., the move is symbolic of how far consumer connectivity has come. “34 years was a good run,” wrote The Verge, pointing out that even as recently as 2019, an estimated 265,000 Americans were still on dial-up theverge.com. The final shutdown serves as a reminder of the rapid evolution of consumer internet services from screeching modems to ubiquitous broadband.

AI Stocks Frenzy: Mega Deals, GPT-5 Hype and Bubble Warnings Fuel Aug 9–10 Market Buzz

AI Stocks Frenzy: Mega Deals, GPT-5 Hype and Bubble Warnings Fuel Aug 9–10 Market Buzz

The past week’s AI chip boom saw both turbulence and triumph. Advanced Micro Devices and server-maker Super Micro Computer – once high-flying “AI plays” – plunged after underwhelming earnings, briefly shaking faith in the AI hardware rally. AMD’s data-center chip sales rose 14% in Q2 but missed forecasts and paled next to Nvidia’s astonishing 73% surge ts2.tech. Its stock slid ~5%, as Jefferies analysts noted AMD’s AI outlook “did not show the sort of upside” investors hoped for ts2.tech. SMCI fared worse: shares cratered 18% in one day after it missed revenue targets and cut guidance amid Nvidia supply delays and rising competition from Dell and HPE ts2.tech. Over $6 billion in SMCI’s value evaporated overnight, a harsh reminder that any “weakness in the high-expectation AI space tends to spark sharp investor backlash,” as one analyst cautioned ts2.tech.
