Perseid meteor shower 2018: How to watch the dazzling light show in the night sky
This may be the best meteor shower in years.
This weekend the night sky will light up with the debris left behind by the Swift-Tuttle comet. The Perseid meteors, which earn their name through their proximity to the constellation Perseus (don’t know who that is? Go watch Clash of the Titans), occur once a year when the Earth crosses through the resident dust cloud.
