On the night of Friday, May 23, with any luck, the world will see the first-ever Camelopardalids Meteor Shower. It is expected to peak at 3:00am on Saturday the 24th, so plan to climb out of bed to see it. “Sky and Telescope” has an excellent article:

Regrettably, it appears that clouds will prevent our seeing the Camelopardalids, which brings us to our next topic.
