Perseid Meteor Shower peaks in Windsor tonight

A Perseid meteor streaks across the sky during the Perseid meteor shower in Vinton, Calif., on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2009. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP - Kevin Clifford The Perseid Meteor Shower is peaking in Windsor tonight. The show is one of the best meteor showers of the year. It will officially peak at 4 p.m. In the past, it has shown up to 40 to 50 visible meteors each hour. However, there aren't expected to be as many visible ones this year because the shower is taking place after the full moon for August. The light from the moon will make the meteors harder to see. The best times to watch are around an hour between dusk and moon rise and the last couple of hours before daybreak on Wednesday. A special watch party will take place at Point Pelee. 'Unfortunately, the moon comes up about quarter after 10 and it's going to be about 90 per cent illuminated,' said Tom Sobocan, an astronomy enthusiast. 'The best viewing time is probably between 8:30 and 10:30 tonight, even though the peak of the meteors will be in the wee hours of the morning between about 3 and 5 a.m.'
