How to watch the Perseids meteor shower lighting up the August skies
The Perseids run through August 23, but the peak is coming up on the nights of August 12–13 when Earth hits the dustiest part of the comet’s trail, per Weather. The moon will be almost full this year (about 84%), which could wash out a lot of the fainter meteors. The American Meteor Society says we could miss up to 75% of the action.

The meteor shower is expected to peak from Aug. 12-13, although moonlight will impact meteor visibility. The moon will be 84% full during the peak. NASA says the best time to view the Perseids is early in the morning, before dawn, in the Northern Hemisphere. Sometimes, however, the meteors can be seen at night as early as 10 p.m.
