The best meteor shower of the year is expected to peak over San Diego County this weekend, according to NASA.
The annual Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak this weekend, sending bright trails of light streaking across the night sky.
“If you’ve got nice clear weather and a good dark sky, you go out just before dawn and you’ll see a Perseid per minute or so,” said NASA meteor scientist Bill Cooke. “That’s a pretty good show.”The Perseids — one of the biggest meteor showers we can see — occur every year in the late summer. Meteor showers happen when the Earth moves through fields of debris floating around in space.
