Isn't it always a coincidence to see a meteor show int he movies or on tv like it's a once in a lifetime event? Well meteor showers happen more often than you think.
In 2010 there are actually seven visible meteor showers; the next one is Perseids.
Perseids is scheduled for the night of August 12 to early morning. The best times for tonight's meteor shower will be anytime after midnight.
If you are in a city, try to get away from all the lights. The meteor shower can be best seen away from all the lights that glow and actually brighten up the sky.
If you can't catch tonight's meteor shower don't fret! The next scheduled shower is set for October 21.
