The warm summer nights are an invitation for you to enjoy what’s considered the best meteor shower of the year – the Perseids. It’s one of the most popular celestial events among skywatchers ...

As many as 100 "shooting stars" per hour can be seen during the peak of the Perseids on Aug. 12 and 13, but a bright full moon means evasive action is required.
