Perseids will be at their height Sunday night into Monday – and viewers will be able to spot a flurry of shooting stars
If you’ve been waiting to make a wish, this weekend may be your best opportunity to spot a shooting star.
The Perseids – a meteor shower visible from late-July to mid-August each year – are peaking this weekend and will be at their height on Sunday night into Monday morning. Although the shower can be seen around the globe, it is expected to be the most striking in the northern hemisphere – prompting delight among US stargazers as national parks such as California’s Joshua Tree brace for a surge in visitors.
