Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight

McDonald said the best time to see the meteors would probably be between midnight and 3 a.m. Friday.

“There’s a certain time frame of hours when Earth is passing through the thickest or most dense part of the debris,” he said.

But people can probably spot a few meteors late Wednesday night and Friday night as well, McDonald said.

“A couple of days on either side should be decent,” he said.
