Meteor showers happen all year. They happen so often that they overlap for significant percentages of the year. There are two times when three meteor showers will be active in October, for example. But a rarer feat? Having two meteor showers that peak at the same time. It'll happen later this month, on July 29. The show will come courtesy of the Alpha Capricornids and Southern delta Aquariids meteor showers. The former began on Saturday and runs through Aug. 12, with a peak of July 29. Southern

Was This the Geekiest Concert of All Time?

When the hamburger-shaped spaceship with the word “Millennium” on the back lowered down above me, I figured I was in for something special. What I didn’t expect was that, for the next two hours, the “Millennium…” let’s call it “Falcon,” would fly through an asteroid field before docking on a planet with light cycles and noir landscapes, as lines of code dropped down like rain and huge cylindrical gates of stars swirled around.

The long-running video game series Assassin's Creed will get a live-action TV series adaptation.
