Maury, some of scientifically inclined bounce radio signals from the 
ionization trails caused by meteors.

Some even bounce them off that other big space rock, the moon.

0= number zero, not the letter O.

> The Perseid meteor shower is about to peak. The show begins after sunset 
> on Tuesday, August 11th, and continues until the sun rises on Wednesday, 
> August 12th. A time of particular interest is 0800-0900 GMT (1-2 a.m. PDT) 
> on the 12th.  That's when Earth is expected to pass through a 
> denser-than-usual filament of dust from Perseid parent Comet Swift-Tuttle. 
> Forecasters are unsure what will happen, but some have speculated that 
> meteor rates could surge as high as 200 per hour. Bright moonlight will 
> blot out many of those Perseids, but even a fraction of 200 is a good 
> show.
