The Perseid meteor shower will peak this weekend, and NASA scientists say it will be the most impressive show of the year. (Take that, Olympics closing ceremony.)The annual show happens when debris left by the debris left the comet Swift-Tuttle. There could be as many as 100 meteors buzzing through the sky every hour, according to NASA.
Anyone in a dark area not shrouded in clouds should have a good shot at seeing the show, but the Marshall Space Flight Center will be streaming live video — you know, in case you can’t be bothered to leave your couch or bed between the peak hours of 11 p.m. on Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday morning.
Look to the Eastern sky — and hope clouds don’t roll in. (Note to locals: Seattle is supposed to remain cloud free throughout the weekend, so we’re in luck.)
