How, when to watch the Perseid meteor shower
Fox News
The Perseids, considered the best meteor shower of the year, will peak on Wednesday night and into pre-dawn hours on Thursday.
While viewing will be best in the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere will see a few Perseids with none visible below approximately 30 degrees south latitude, according to the agency. Visibility also decreases due to light pollution and maximum Perseid rates in cities are just one or two per hour.More Related News
