Every August, just when many people go vacationing in the country where skies are dark, the best-known meteor shower makes its appearance.

The annual Perseid meteor shower is expected to be at its best this year, producing one or two meteors per minute during peak hours.

"It's going to be a great show," said Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

It was quite a awesome show from that point of view. well at least from what I can remember
