Look to the skies tonight

The Perseid Meteor shower will peak tonight. The watch begins after nightfall on August 11th and continues until sunrise on the 12th. Veteran observers suggest the following strategy: Unfold a blanket on a flat patch of ground. (Note: The middle of your street is not a good choice.) Lie down and look up. - excerpt from Nasa.gov
