Perseid Meteor Shower

We are back into the months that start meteor showers, with August 11^th through 13^th expected to be the peak days for the Perseid showers. The Perseid meteor shower is a result of debris from the Swift-Tuttle Comet. It is estimated they will have 75 shooting stars per hour this year. Look in the predawn northeast sky on these dates, but remember that the peak may occur one or two days on either side of the projected dates. The moon is waning on these dates and will not obscure the brightness of the northeast sky.
