How to Watch the Meteor Shower!

The Perseid meteor shower — aka the Perseids — is predicted to take place throughout August. The shower happens when Earth passes through the trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle, offering spectators across the globe the opportunity to see ~100 meteors per hour when the shower is at its peak.

When to view: 

The best time to watch the meteor shower is late at night or in the predawn hours during its peak from Thurs., Aug. 11–Sat., Aug. 13. These days will provide the opportunity to see the brightest + most numerous meteors.
