Meteors will stream across the sky in one of the year’s most anticipated celestial shows
It’s that time of summer to watch the most anticipated meteor shower of the year: the dazzling display known as the Perseids.
Streams of light and color will travel across the sky while explosions of fireballs linger, leaving behind even brighter streaks than the meteor trails from the Perseids passing through the atmosphere.
The Perseid meteor shower peaked late Sunday night, but stargazers could be in for a show tonight as well with clear skies overnight in Niagara.
NASA said on its website that the Perseid meteor shower is best viewed from midnight to dawn, adding that the greatest number of meteors are seen just before dawn, when the radiant point is high in the sky. But that does not mean sky watchers should stare toward the radiant point, because meteors can be seen anywhere in the sky.
