If you visit Google.com today, you may notice a special logo, or Google Doodle. The logo is to help drive awareness to the special Perseids meteor shower that is taking place today. In fact, the shower has been active for a few days now, but it is most visible today from areas around Scotland.

NASA has a page devoted to the 2009 Perseids at this page. I am sure it will be updated with more pictures, throughout the day.

I am hoping that image search engines such as Flickr have nice images for queries on perseids today.
