Now could be the perfect time to make a wish. August is the month of the annual Perseid Meteor Shower.

During this time of the year, people will be out camping to witness the glorious sight of “shooting stars”. All you need is the good outdoors, a mat to lie on and the night sky will provide everything else.

The prime time for Perseid Meteor Shower watching on the US West Coast is on August 13 between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.

This year’s Perseid Meteor Shower is expected to have more than the average number of shooting stars. However you have to really focus, as the bright moon could get in the way. It’s said that the best viewing time is on the night of August 12 (morning of August 13).
