The shooting stars are coming soon.
The peak of the shower, known as the Perseids, is about to take place.
During the summer months, the Perseids are active. It's easier to view in the summer because of the warm weather.
The best time to see the Perseids is before dawn in the Northern Hemisphere, but can be seen as late as 10 p.m. Visibility will be affected by a bright full moon during the shower.
NASA describes fireballs as larger explosions of light and color that can persist longer than an average meteorite streak.
You can view the shower from anywhere on Earth.
You need to know when the peak of the shower is, as well as the phase of the moon. You might not get as much out of it.
The estimate for the shower will always be in U.S. time.
You can change your time zone by following the steps from Earth Sky.
It's not necessary to have a radiant point to see the shower. The shower of meteors seems to proceed at this point in the sky.
According to EarthSky, there are meteor showers that can be seen before they rise to the sky.
Knowing the shower's number of meteors per hour will give you a better idea of how frequently they occur.
A bright moon can make it hard to see the shower.
The view of meteorites is affected by light pollution in major cities.
If you want to get the most out of your viewing experience, look for a dark spot away from city lights. The light will make the shower clearer.
It's important to make sure you're in a good position to view the shower.
According to NASA, you can see the showers in the dark in about 30 minutes.
It's a good idea to bring a blanket, lawn chair, sleeping bag, warm clothes and a warm place to sleep at night.
Relax and enjoy. You don't need telescopes or binoculars.
