One of the year's best meteor showers will peak during the early morning hours of August 13 under a moonless sky. "The waxing crescent Moon sets before twilight ends, so the best viewing of the Perseid meteor shower will be after midnight," said Astronomy Senior Editor Richard Talcott.
Observers can expect to see more than 60, and perhaps 100, meteors per hour. About half as many will be visible the night before and after.
