The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight. Look to the north east on Sunday, Aug. 12th, at around 10 pm local time as the constellation Perseus rises. Expect to see a meteor every few minutes.
The best viewing will be after midnight and when the constellation is highest in the sky.
The tiny bits of space sand are going to hit the Earth atmosphere at speeds of 66 km/sec so the meteors are going to be quick and bright, especially since there is a new moon.
