Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Monday, Tuesday Nights

Hit your rooftop deck Monday and Tuesday, or head to the suburbs for a view less impacted by the city's lights.

New research by NASA has just identified the most magical nights of all in the most recent meteor shower to grace us with its presence. 

"We have found that one meteor shower produces more fireballs than any other," said Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "It's the Perseid meteor shower, which peaks on Aug. 12 and 13."
