Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks After Midnight. NASA Says It's 'One Of The Best'

The Perseid Meteor Shower, pictured here near Death Valley, California, in 2019, is one of the most popular of the year. This summer, it peaks in the pre-dawn hours of Aug. 12.

The light of the moon will reduce the visibility of some fainter meteors, but NASA says it’s still worth staying up late — or rising very very early on Wednesday — to see “nature’s fireworks.”
