The Perseid meteor shower is peaking soon. This year, a bright moon will hinder viewing during peak viewing early Wednesday, so experts suggest waiting a week for darker skies.

It’s finally time to watch one of the best meteor showers of the year: the brilliant display known as the Perseids. The Perseid meteor shower, which is known for producing dozens of bright meteors that leave long streaks in their wake, peaked at 4 p.m. ET Tuesday.

The Perseid meteor shower, among the most beautiful in the Northern Hemisphere, is expected to peak on the evenings of Aug. 12 and 13, and will be visible through Aug. 23.
