In 2020, the peak mornings for the Perseid meteor shower – August 11, 12 and 13 – will feature meteors under moonlight.

The annual Perseid meteor shower is one of the most beloved meteor showers of the year.

ETA...If you don't catch it tonight, you can still watch the next 2 nights

Re: Don't forget the Perseid Meteor shower TONIGHT!
NASA says it's "one of the best" meteor shows of the year. That's because of the sheer number of meteors — 50 to 100 meteors to catch per hour as well as their fireballs — larger, brighter explosions of light and color that last longer than an average meteor streak.

Re: Don't forget the Perseid Meteor shower TONIGHT!
Perseid meteors are the result of space debris left behind by the Comet Swift-Tuttle, which orbits the sun every 133 years. Earth passes through these trails of comet dust every July and August, causing debris to collide with the atmosphere and disintegrate into fiery streaks.

Do more than expected, take less than allowed.

When dealing with a friend, if you aren't getting the short end, you're doing it wrong.
