The peak of the annual Perseid Meteor Shower occurs tomorrow night on August 11/12. The Perseids are typically active from July 17 to August 26. You can start looking for meteors as early as 10 pm by looking northeast but, your best views will be from midnight to 4 am. During this time, you have the chance to see meteors moving in all direction emanating from the shower’s radiant in the constellation Perseus.
