FLAGSTAFF, AZ (AZFamily) — The Perseid meteor shower is peaking Wednesday night and it can bring up to 75 shooting stars an hour. While the moon may make it tougher to see, a meteor shower always draws a crowd at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff.

The annual Perseid meteor shower peaked earlier this week, but the waning gibbous moon moves out of the evening sky this weekend, potentially making more meteors visible.

It’s finally time to watch one of the best meteor showers of the year: the brilliant display known as the Perseids. The Perseid meteor shower, which is known for producing dozens of bright meteors that leave long streaks in their wake, is set to peak at 4 p.m. ET Tuesday.
