Perseid meteor shower

Time has an article by Victor Luckerson about the sky:

Armchair astronomers, get ready. One of the best meteor showers of the year is coming in just a few days.
The Perseid meteor shower will be lighting up the night sky starting on Wednesday. The annual display could fill the sky with as many as a hundred meteors per hour during its peak, according to NASA. This year the shower is peaking just before a new moon, so meteors will appear especially bright on the background of darkness.
12 and 13 August 2015 will be the ideal nights to catch the Perseids. NASA advises viewers to get as far away from city lights as possible, and to keep the binoculars and telescopes at home, as the meteors are easiest to see when taking in the whole sky. Also, do not look at your cell phone. The bright screen will delay your eyes’ ability to get accustomed to the dark.
