The annual Perseid meteor will be visible this weekend, so look up if you are up -- it should be a good show.
On Saturday night, you can see 25 to 50 meteors per hour. You won't see the meteors evenly spread out over time. You may see nothing for five minutes and then four or more in a row a minute later. The moon is a thin crescent that rises about three hours before the sun, so it won't be much of a problem to viewing. And the forecast for Saturday night looks good too -- mostly clear skies with temperatures in the mid to lower 80s.
