"Your Guide to the Spectacular Perseid Meteor Shower: 100 Shooting Stars per Hour!"

The annual Perseid meteor shower, offering up to 100 shooting stars per hour, will peak tonight. The best time to watch is between midnight and 5:30 am on Sunday, when the sky is darkest and the meteors are at their highest position. It is recommended to avoid light pollution and give your eyes time to adjust to the dark. The Perseid meteor shower can be seen best in the northern hemisphere with the naked eye, and it occurs when the Earth passes through debris left by the comet Swift-Tuttle.
