The Perseid meteor shower peaks in mid-August with 50 to 100 meteors per hour, best seen before dawn but after midnight for darker skies and better conditions.
Meteors are small chunks of comets or asteroids that burn up due to friction, producing fireballs. Perseids are known for luminous meteors originating from Comet Swift-Tuttle.
