The meteor shower is expected to peak on the evening of August 12 through to the morning of August 13. While the shower will continue through to August 23, the peak is the best chance to see as many meteors as possible.

The Perseid meteor shower will peak next week. If you miss it, there are other meteor showers later this year that you can also view from near L.A.

The Perseids are one of the most visually spectacular meteor showers of the year and are known for spawning impressive fireballs that light up the night sky.
