If you missed the Perseid meteor shower Tuesday, you’ve got another shot at it Wednesday night.
The earth is still moving through the debris left behind by Comet Swift-Tuttle, which means the meteor shower is still active.
In fact Spaceweather.com reports that worldwide meteor counts raise the possibility tonight could be more active than last night.
This could be the most famous of all meteor showers. It seldom, if ever, fails to provide an impressive display.
They appear to originate in the northeast sky, but can be seen elsewhere as they streak through the darkness.
Let me know if you see any.

August 12, 2009 at 7:52 p.m.ddelvalle, there's no specific time. There should be a few visible when you get off work if you have a fairly dark sky. But as Rebecca points out, the best time is probably between midnight and about 5 a.m.
