FILE – In this July 28, 2014, file photo, two meteors, center and lower left, during the annual Perseid meteor shower streak across the sky above a forest on the outskirts of Madrid. The AP reported on Aug. 4, 2017, that the peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower on Aug. 11 and 12 won't come close to setting any records. The head of NASA's meteoroid environment office, Bill Cooke, tells AP that astronomers project a slightly higher than normal shower rate with 150 meteors per hour across the Northern Hemisphere, but the brightness of the moon will wash out the finer Perseids.
