The American Meteor Society says the best time to see these speedy streaks of light is after midnight and preferably close to dawn.

Those in locations where the sky is clear and free of light pollution might be lucky enough to see a meteor per minute. They should be fairly easy to see this year because there will be only a sliver of a moon to contend with in the night sky.

You don't need a telescope or binoculars to see the meteors as they hit the atmosphere, and they can appear just about anywhere in the sky. That debris is mostly made of tiny meteoroids, lumps of rock or iron that orbit the sun. When they hit Earth's atmosphere and create a brief flash of light, they are called meteors. A piece that manages to make it to the ground is a meteorite.
