The Perseids are typically one of the best meteor-viewing experiences of the year. This year, your best shot at catching the Perseids will be a few hours before dawn when the Moon is closer to setting. The August Perseid meteor shower is rich and steady, from early August through the peak. The meteors are colorful, and they frequently leave persistent trains. All these factors make the Perseid shower perhaps the most beloved meteor shower in the Northern Hemisphere.
