Considered the best meteor shower of the year, you can see up to 50 meteors per hour according to NASA, and sometimes even more if conditions are right.

The Perseids get their name from the constellation Perseus because they appear to radiate from that spot in the sky, but the constellation isn’t the source.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the Perseids are best viewed during the pre-dawn hours, though at times it is possible to see some as early as 10 p.m.

The Perseids peak during the night of Tuesday, August 11 into the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, August 12.

You can see the Moon posing with various planets, and catch the peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower.
