Perseid Meteor Shower, “Shooting Stars” Comet Swift-Tuttle. August 2013.
Hundreds of meteors will fill the night sky tonight called the Perseid Meteor shower. They are bits from a left over comet named Swift-Tuttle. The comet the debris slams into the Earth’s atmosphere and flares up in dazzling meteors or fireballs.
NASA official stated,
Rates can get as high as 100 per hour, with many fireballs visible in the night sky,” ‘Early in the evening, a waxing crescent moon will interfere slightly with this year’s show, but it will have set by the time of the best viewing, just before dawn.’
