This Sunday night, the 2018 Perseid Meteor Shower will be visible. Every year this shower is often one of the most impressive spectacles of its kind. The Perseid shower should be especially vivid this year because the sky will be moonless and dark during the peak of the shower. The sky show will intensify on Sunday with an expected average of 90 shooting stars an hour. If you're wondering how to spot the Perseid Meteor Shower? Those living in the Northern Hemisphere, where the United States is located, look towards the northeastern sky. Its best to watch after 11pm or later when the constellation Perseid will be higher in the sky. It may also take up to an hour for your eyes to fully adjust to the darkness so start watching early.

Know: You don't need to be looking directly at the constellation Perseid to spot the meteors. I'm sure I'll be up all night looking at all the action myself. If you join me, we'll be simpatico.
