Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Aug. 11 and 12 with a Possible Strong Outburst!

I usually only hear about these on the day after, but since I heard about this one in advance, I’m sharing.

And if, like me, you only know how to find the Big Dipper, this video can help you find Perseus, which is the general area you want to focus on if you want to watch meteors.
