If you one of those who likes making contacts by bouncing VHF signals off meteors, the Perseid showers peak on 8/12 and 8/13.
Or you can go out during the night hours and stare aimlessly at the night sky. Whatever rocks your boat.
Perseids are especially known for their fireballs, larger bursts of light and color that can last longer than an average meteor streak. This year's meteor shower will bring a major advantage for sky-watchers. A new moon will coincide with the shower's peak, providing dark skies and excellent viewing conditions before the sun rises.
