How to watch the Perseids meteor shower lighting up the August skies
The Perseids run through August 23, but the peak is coming up on the nights of August 12–13 when Earth hits the dustiest part of the comet’s trail, per Weather. The moon will be almost full this year (about 84%), which could wash out a lot of the fainter meteors. The American Meteor Society says we could miss up to 75% of the action.
