Coming this weekend to a dark sky near you: The Night of the Dazzling Debris (If the skies are clear).
We're talking about the Perseid meteor shower, the most reliable and one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year, and it peaks Saturday night/Sunday morning, with experts predicting 60 to 100 meteors per hour.
A meteor shower is nothing more than bits of debris from a comet that burn up as they zip through the Earth's atmosphere — the Perseid meteors are debris left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle.
"The Perseids are a steady performer," said Michael Bakich, senior editor of Astronomy magazine. "Comets have different densities and leave different kinds of trails. Swift-Tuttle left a rich stream in its wake, and every year at this time we pass through it."
