The most viewer friendly meteor show in the Northern Hemisphere is quickening its pace, peaking next week in its display of colorful light streaks.
The Perseids take place in mid-August, offering a striking contrast to the chilly nocturnal weather of November and December when the Leonids and Geminids take center stage.
The combination of nice conditions and picturesque meteors offer prime viewing pleasure, according to Gary Kronk, a longtime meteor watcher.
