If anyone is backpacking, hiking, or camping in a dark place this weekend be sure to look up to the sky and check out the meteors!

Space.com has a ton of great information for viewing this meteor shower but here is the quick down and dirty:

  • About 18 meteors per hour
  • Meteors will be coming out of the North East Sky

Check out when the moon rises and sets in local area to find the best and darkest viewing time!
