Perseids meteor shower to dazzle in July, August â hereâs how to watch
By Skyler Rivera
Footage posted all over social media captured a meteor flashing across the sky.
The annual Perseids meteor shower is set to light up the night sky for several weeks beginning on Wednesday. NASA says the Perseids meteor shower is considered "the best meteor shower of the year."
After months of celestial phenomena like the strawberry supermoon, the ring of fire solar eclipse and the rare super flower blood moon, the sky promises one final spectacle to end the summer.
The Perseids are active every year from July 14 to August 24, but the meteor shower will peak between midnight and dawn on August 11, 12 and 13.
