"The Perseids /ˈpɜrsiːɨdz/ are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so-called because the point from which they appear to come, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus. The name derives in part from the word Perseides (Περσείδες), a term found in Greek mythology referring to the sons of Perseus."

Guys. If it's not cloudy tonight, get some friends, a few sixpacks and a blanket and go to a hill where there's barely any light pollution.
I did it last year, and it blew my goddamn balls off. I have never seen this many shooting stars or ones that big.
 
Thanks for letting us know about this, had no clue.
Will definitely check the skies tonight!
