This annual Perseid Meteor Shower is upon us and there are many links to information on how to view them and when and where to look.
Unfortunately, the best viewing and the peak of the meteor shower – August 12 – August 13 – is also during the full moon this year.
Many of these sites are new to me so leave a comment if you learn something interesting (or where to avoid!).
This site looks pretty basic, a nice place to start.
A nice looking British site.
