Keep an eye on the sky this evening (Tues PM . . early Wed AM)
Weather allowing, it's one of the best nights of the years for seeing meteors or shooting stars as they are sometimes called.

Astronomer Howard Parkin says the official peak time is 1am Wednesday morning, though anytime around midnight should be good.
