Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight, Mon. Night The annual Perseids. This year`s display should be quite dazzling thanks to an early-setting waxing crescent Moon. At the shower`s peak August 12, the average viewer could see around one or two meteors per minute. The main meteor shower in August is called the Perseids because the meteors will appear to radiate from the constellation of Perseus. The best time to see the peak of this year`s meteor shower in the continental U.S. will be both early Monday and Tuesday morning, August 12th and 13th. The best window of opportunity will generally be after Midnight through around 5 a.m. local time each morning. You will also want to look in the northeastern sky near the constellations of Perseus and Cassiopeia for the chance to see the most meteors.
