From CBC:
The Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak at about 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, but for viewers in Canada the annual event is still expected to put on a show Wednesday night.
About 100 meteors per hour can be seen streaking across the sky during the shower's peak, NASA astronomers say.
The peak, however, is at about 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, meaning people in Canada won't get to the see it at its zenith.
But the meteor shower did put on a show Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning and is expected to do the same Wednesday evening.
NASA astronomers recommend watching the shower between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., when both the moon and the constellation Perseus are low on the horizon, though the number of meteors will be fewer than at the shower's apex.
So we'll have to tear ourselves away from the television set this evening and drive out into the country somewhere to watch this.
