In ideal observing conditions The Perseid meteor shower and high rates (an average of 60 meteors per hour at the peak) would be visible tonight.
Make plans to stay up late tonight or wake up early on Monday, August 13. The Perseids are best seen between about 2 a.m. your local time and dawn.
A live broadcast of the meteor shower from a camera in Huntsville, AL is available on the NASA Meteor Watch Facebook until the early hours of August 13. Meteor videos recorded by the NASA All Sky Fireball Network are also available each morning; to identify Perseids in these videos, look for events labeled “PER.”
