The Perseid Meteor Shower is an annual celestial event. This year the
meteor shower peaks on Sunday morning, August 12th. At this website you can
learn all about the Perseid Meteor Shower and look at some fantastic photos
of the phenomenon. Not only that, keep scrolling down the page and review
the "Classroom Corner" for elementary and highschool grades. Here you will
find scientific information, vocabulary, and lots of hands-on activities to
enhance learning about meteors, comets, and the like too. There are also
links to other website for further research.

This site also explains where to look for the Perseids in the night sky.
So, not only can you take a virtual tour to find out about the Perseids, but
you can actually take a real field trip to your own backyard to watch the
star-filled show on August 12th.
