Perseid Meteor Shower, one of the most vibrant, to peak over the weekend
NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) – The Perseid Meteor Shower, one of the most vibrant meteor showers each year, will peak this weekend.
Some folks could see around 100 meteors per hour. The best viewing time will be before dawn Sunday morning.
And great news, the waning crescent moon will allow for some great viewing of the shooting stars.
Of course, people need to get away from the city lights and allow their eyes to adjust to the nighttime sky for about 30 minutes to view the meteors.
