Perseid meteor shower

This week marks the annual return of the Perseid meteor shower, the most reliable meteor shower of the year, though the full moon may interfere with this year's display.

The Perseid meteor shower peaks this week in the overnight hours of Friday and Saturday (Aug. 12 and 13) just before the full moon hits its maximum brightness.

p/s: A meteor shower on my birthday, every year. Someone said it is because I'm special. ;)
