The Perseids meteor shower is expected to reach its peak on Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. Viewing conditions are anticipated to be ideal due to the coincidence with a new moon, which means there will be no bright moonlight to interfere with the meteors. In the suburbs of Bellaire, around a dozen meteors per hour may be visible, while in the city, this number may be lower.

For a better view, a darker location is recommended, where two dozen or more meteors per hour could be seen. Further details on the Perseids, including the best viewing times and how the meteor shower got its name, are available from local news sources.
