Tonight is the peak evening for the Perseid Meteor Shower

It’s early August which means the annual Perseid Meteor shower is visible again and according to Dr. Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy fame, tonight is the best evening to watch it. These are his tips to get an optimal view. He confirmed what I thought this was, left over debris from something but I didn’t know it was the comet Swift-Tuttle. Must be a heck of a comet to leave that much junk for the earth to pass through this type of result.
