> The Perseid meteor shower is about to peak. The show begins after
> sunset on Tuesday, August 11th, and continues until the sun rises
> on Wednesday, August 12th. A time of particular interest is
> 0800-0900 GMT (1-2 a.m. PDT) on the 12th. That's when Earth is
> expected to pass through a denser-than-usual filament of dust from
> Perseid parent Comet Swift-Tuttle. Forecasters are unsure what
> will happen, but some have speculated that meteor rates could surge
> as high as 200 per hour. Bright moonlight will blot out many of
> those Perseids, but even a fraction of 200 is a good show.
