This would be a good night to catch a falling star.

For about the first two hours after midnight, one of the most impressive annual meteor showers will be at its peak.

Once evening falls, expect to see a meteor—or shooting star—streaking across the sky every few minutes. Hopefully, clear skies will allow for the best viewing of these bright meteors.

Gary Diamond of the Royal Astronomical Society says this will be the only chance this year to catch the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. He says at its peak, before the moon comes up, you could see up to 60 shooting stars an hour, as opposed to the handful you might see on an average night.

The darker the place, the better the view. For example, Diamond says Terra Nova National Park would be one of the best places to see the Perseids, as the area has been designated as a ‘dark sky preserve’ by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

He says you need clear skies and to be out of the city, particularly after midnight, due to the light pollution.

As for the best angle, don’t look straight up. Diamond suggests looking about 30 degrees up from the horizon, or about three fists up at arm’s length.
