This weekend, prepare for a spectacular show in the night skies in Upstate New York. The Perseids meteor shower will reach its peak this Saturday and Sunday.
The Perseid Meteor Shower began on July 25th but its peak will be tonight. Summer weather makes it a nice night to look up at the Capital Region sky and see tons of shooting stars. I say you grab a blanket and your sweetheart, find a cozy place on the grass away from city lights and watch the show. Conditions should be perfect to experience the wonder of the meteor shower.
