Catch a shooting star: The summer's best meteor shower – the Perseids – peak tonight

(EXCERPT)

The peak of the best summertime meteor shower – the Perseids – will be coming to a sky near you Monday night, weather permitting.

Unfortunately, the moon is very close to full, which will wash out the fainter Perseids, NASA's meteor expert Bill Cooke told space.com. "The Perseids are rich in fireballs, so you'll still see Perseids; you just won't see the show you've seen on nights when the moon has not been around."

The moon's bright light will drown out fainter meteors and leave the brighter ones less impressive during the prime viewing hours after midnight, Astronomy magazine said.

Cooke said to expect to see from 10-15 meteors per hour.
