(KXAN) -- What NASA calls the best meteor shower of the year is peaking this weekend. The Perseid meteor shower can produce up to 100 meteors per hour, giving you an excellent shot at witnessing the celestial event. The Perseids occur every year between mid-July and late-August. At this time, the Earth passes through the remnants of the Swift-Tuttle comet. During this year's meteor shower, the moon will be in its first quarter, with about half of it lit up. However, just before midnight the moon will drop below the horizon. This will provide excellent viewing opportunities for stargazers.
