Wednesday evening of August 11th will see the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, the annual sky show that seemingly originates in the Perseus constellation, hence their name.
Astronomers are predicting as high as 350 meteors per hour this year, although you’ll have to be decently far away from light pollution to see anywhere close to that many.
