Posted

The later you stay up this week, the more you'll be able to enjoy shooting stars in the nighttime sky.

This year's Perseid meteor shower is recommended by NASA as "must-see" comet activity, hitting its peak August 12-13.

Up to 100 fast and bright meteors will be visible per hour.

The Perseids have been active since July 13 and will be through August 26, according to NASA.
