Skygazers should head outside between 12am and 5:30am to see the meteors, which will appear in the northeastern sky. This peak period occurs when there is almost no moon and the sky is especially dark, providing the perfect backdrop for dozens of shooting stars.
Try to get to the darkest location you can. The darker it is where you are, the more meteors you will see streaking across the sky,' NASA wrote in a press release.
The Perseid meteor shower began on July 14 and is set to run until September 1, but the best viewing is just days away. Earth's orbit crosses paths with Swift-Tuttle's orbit, causing the comet's dust and debris to burn up in our atmosphere and create the Perseid meteor shower.
