Meteor Shower This Weekend

One of the best meteor showers of the year takes place this weekend.  

The perseid meteor shower will be at its peak this weekend, according to Tom Burns, director of the Perkins Observatory in Delaware County just a few miles south of the city of Delaware.  

He says the perseid meteor shower is at its peak tonight, but moonlight makes it less spectacular.  He says when the moon isn't shining this meteor shower every August can be spectacular.  

Still, you're likely to see some, especially if you watch after 1:30 in the morning, high in the northeastern sky. 

The Perkins Observatory has a large telescope and has programming on Friday nights.
