Perseids: Watch 100 meteors an hour zoom by next week

A shower of some of the brightest known meteors will light up the skies worldwide next week, Miami Herald reports.

The annual Perseids meteor shower will peak in the early mornings Aug. 11, 12 and 13, according to EarthSky. The Perseids are bright, and stargazers can typically see between 40 to 50 meteors per hour, EarthSky noted.

In some years, over 100 meteors zoom through the sky per hour, but that is not very likely this year, according to EarthSky.
