The Perseid meteor showers are set to peak Friday night and Saturday Morning. Unfortunately, with a full moon, it will be difficult to see all but the brightest meteors.
Normally, the annual meteor shower generates 60 or more meteors per hour. This year, 20-30 per hour is the predicted peak.
If you’re having trouble seeing the meteors outside, there are a number of websites offering a view through your computer screen.
• NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center
• El Paso All Sky Camera
• Sandia All Sky Meteor Camera
• Astrobytes All Sky Camera
• The Lick Observatory All-Sky Camera
• Beskeen All Sky Camera (UK)
The meteor shower is caused each August when the Earth passes through a cloud of dust from the comet Swift-Tuttle. The ice and dust in the cloud burns up in the atmosphere, causing the spectacular show.
