The Perseid meteor shower, one of the best meteor showers of the year due to the high frequency of the streaks, will peak on Sunday. The meteors, from leftover debris of the comet Swift-Tuttle, have been gracing the skies since late July but the best viewing times are overnight Saturday and Sunday, with an average of 60 meteors per hour visible to the naked human eye.

Specifically, the Perseids will be best spotted around 2 a.m. until dawn local time, August 11 to 12 and August 12 to 13.
