Perseid Meteor Shower Tonight

Watch Perseid Meteor Shower Tonight. Go outside and watch one of the most amazing spectacles of nature, the 2011 Perseid meteor shower.

This year, the shower peaks on Saturday and unfortunately coincides with the full moon, which will make observing the shooting stars difficult.

According to NASA, the full moon will wash out all but the brightest of the meteors. Their rates are estimated to be about 20 to 30 per hour at most, weather permitting.

If you wish to view the show live from the comfort of home, NASA has cameras and a chat module during the shower's peak that will allow you to ask questions from experts as they view the Perseid's meteor shower live. Click here for information about the NASA event.
