Perseids Meteor Shower TONIGHT

[Diode-Man]

Hello!

I would like to know when the meteor shower is going to be. Is there an exact time for the Western USA? Or is it just "peaking tonight?"

How friggin exciting!

Look to the skies tonight: Annual Perseid meteor shower peaks

Weather-permitting, tonight and tomorrow night should offer a great chance to see some celestial activity as the annual Perseid meteor shower hits its peak.

The Perseid shower happens when the Earth passes through debris left from the Swift-Tuttle comet which last came this way in 1992.

You can follow meteor sightings on Twitter at #perseid or #meteorwatch. NASA offers some advice for the best viewing. For aspiring amateur astronomers, cnet.com lists some useful websites to help you get started.
