The Perseid meteor shower happens every August. The 2009 version has been visible for about a week. The most spectacular views are expected Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. The meteor shower is made up of tiny remnants of the comet Swift-Tuttle, that move around the sun in an orbit. It arrives each year in August, and the 2009 event is no different. The Perseid meteor shower is named thusly because it appears to radiate from the constellation Perseus. The Perseid meteor shower almost never disappoints, but in August 2009, the shower will be on the lower end of the range in terms numbers. This year's peak hourly rate is expected to be on the low end of the range, likely around 50; maximum is usually 150. For a really good view, you need to get away from city lights. Look out in a northeast direction with the moon at your back.

Would love to catch this, though there's a fairly deep marine layer that's going to be spreading at least 45 miles inland this evening during optimal viewing times (and I'm closer to the coast).

Still, I'll give me head the periodic tilt back throughout the night.
