The Perseid meteor shower, one of the brighter meteor showers of the year, occurs every year between July 17 and August 24. The shower tends to peak around August 9-13. The best time to view the Perseids, and most other meteor showers, is when the sky is the darkest.
Topalovic says that while the supermoon will be bright on Tuesday evening, it should still be possible to see the Perseids if the skies are clear enough. She advises would-be spectators to look east for the head of the showers, though they can come from any direction in the sky.
