Meteors to Shower Night Sky Aug. 12

An outburst of Perseid meteors lights up the sky in August 2009. 

By Other News Source

COURT HOUSE –  The Perseid meteor shower is expected to light up the northern night sky as Earth passes through the path of Comet Swift-Tuttle July 17-Aug. 24, Space.com reports.
The shower’s peak is expected to occur Aug. 12, meaning you’ll see the most meteors in the shortest amount of time near that peak, but you can expect to see some before or after that peak.
According to the report, the meteors will seem to originate from the constellation Perseus, which appears on the horizon at about 10 p.m. local time. However, the most meteors will be visible after midnight.
