Hey! Meteor shower tonight! Sweet!

"Every August, just when many people go vacationing in the country where skies are dark, the best-known meteor shower makes its appearance.

The annual Perseid meteor shower is expected to be at its best this year, producing one or two meteors per minute during peak hours.
