Star-gazers in the Valley who want to see the height of this year’s Perseid (purr-SEE-id) meteor shower.
Scientists say that the peak viewing period will be 4 o’clock Sunday morning.
If you’re outside, they say to use a red-light flashlight to keep your eyes adjusted to the darkness. They say that this is the best way to see the most distant meteors.
A reclining deck chair is recommended to reduce neck strain from staring up at the sky.
The meteor shower can produce more than 100 fireballs streaking across the sky per hour.
