Please try again later. The Perseid meteor shower is seen in the Chinese city Chifeng on Aug. 14, 2023. (Costfoto/NurPhoto/AP) By Amudalat Ajasa August 8, 2024 at 11:00 p.m. EDT While daytimes in August are accompanied by the beaming sun, many of the warm nights are filled with a dazzling “shooting star” display, courtesy of the annual Perseids meteor shower. It’s one of the best meteor showers of the year — next to the Geminids and Quadrantids — and the mystifying show will peak Sunday night into Monday morning. But unlike winter meteor showers, you won’t have to bundle up to watch, except perhaps for any long sleeves you wear to ward off pesky mosquitoes.
