The Perseids are back.
For Bob King, the best way to experience this lively meteor shower is in a recliner with a warm jacket. For many, the timing is the tricky part. Either plan on staying up late to experience the peak of the shower starting just after midnight or set the alarm early and catch the tail end of the show between 3-4am.
The Perseids have been coming our way since late July, but the number of meteors per hour will continue to grow, reaching a max this Sunday night, August 11th, going into Monday morning.
You can hear Astro Bob's Backyard Astronomy every other Tuesday at 8:20am on Northland Morning.
