It's that time of year again, when the Perseid meteor shower puts on one of the most popular sky shows of the year. This year, the Perseids became active in mid-July and will continue to be so through August 24, reports Space.com. But the peak is happening right about now. Sky & Telescope says the best night for viewing in North America is Friday night into Saturday morning (August 12-13). One problem with the 2022 show, however, is that the peak is coinciding with a full moon. That means all but the brightest shooting stars could be muted, per CBS News. But given how prolific the Perseids are, the intrepid should still be able to see their fair share.
