It is considered the best meteor shower of the year, and it’s set to entertain sky-gazers for the next month.
The Perseids are known for being fast and bright meteors and often leave long “wakes” of light and color as they flat across the night sky, says NASA.
The shower, which travels at 37 miles per second, sees between 50 and 100 meteors per hour and is also renowned for its fireballs.
