## Caption

TONIGHT: The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks! Check the map below for your city/state's visibility. Best Visibility = up to 30-40 meteors/hour; Visible, Low Rates = up to 10 meteors/hour; and Visible, Very Low Rates = less than five meteors/hour. You may see Perseids any time after dark, but peak viewing will be Aug. 13, 3-4 a.m. local time. This is true for all locations in the world.
