The Perseid meteor shower is underway. International observers are now reporting more than 20 meteors per hour as Earth passes through a stream of debris from comet Swift-Tuttle. Forecasters expect the shower to get by in the night 12 to 13 August peak. The best time to look is in the hours before sunrise on Saturday morning, 13 , August when the bright moon is relatively low and meteor rates are highest.
