Perseids are known for their bright fireballs and plentiful meteors. The show started on July 17, and will run through Aug. 23.

The best time to view the Perseids is between midnight and dawn, according to the society. A good day to view them is Thursday, July 24. That's when the new moon is, according to the Farmers' Almanac. This will make the night skies darker and optimal for stargazing.
