Weather-permitting, tonight and tomorrow night should offer a great chance
 to see some celestial activity as the annual Perseid meteor shower hits its peak.

The Perseid shower happens when the Earth passes through debris left from the
 Swift-Tuttle comet which last came this way in 1992.

You can follow meteor sightings on Twitter at #perseid or #meteorwatch. NASA
offers some advice for the best viewing. For aspiring amateur astronomers,
cnet.com lists some useful websites to help you get started.
