The best meteor shower of the year is here. Here’s how to watch it.

THE BEST METEOR SHOWER of the year is here, NASA says. The Perseid meteor shower has already started bracing the sky from July 17 and will be here until August 24, 2021. The best time to view the shower, though, is between August 11 and August 12, where there could be up to 100 visible meteors per hour, according to NPR. The best time for shower viewing is 9 PM in the Northern Hemisphere or midnight in the Southern Hemisphere, until dawn, according to Smithsonian Magazine.
