Since AD 258 every year the Perseids meteor shower has been observed as Earth passes through dust and debris from the Swift-Tuttle Comet of Perseus every August 11 & 12. This colorful show of shooting stars begins in July but hit the highest point in visibility on August 11th and August 12th. Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office states “Earth passes through the densest part of the debris stream sometime on August 12th. After that, you could see hundreds of meteors per hour.” The light of the fading moon may obstruct some of the visuals except meteor rates are speculated as high as 200 per hour this just about guarantees an impressive show still if only a small percentage of the meteors are visible.
