Tiffany has been waiting for weeks to see one particular meteor shower that peaks around august 12. Tiffany is waiting to see Perseid Meteor Shower.
A very bright supermoon known as a "Sturgeon Moon" may make it difficult for photographers to capture this year's climax of the Perseid Meteor Shower tonight (August 12). The Perseid meteor shower, which peaks overnight on August 12 and 13, is one of the most powerful annual meteor showers and occurs between July 14 and September 1. Unfortunately, that falls on the night of this month's full moon, which became fully illuminated yesterday night (Aug. 11). The meteor shower is named after the constellation, the northern constellation Perseus.
