This is once a year so don't miss the meteor shower tonight and tomorrow night. Here is the Meteor Shower August 2009 time :The best time to view the meteor shower is very early in the morning at 1:00 a.m. EST and at 5:30 a.m. EST. At the most star gazers will see between 50 to 150 meteors an hour in the night sky. So don't forget to check this out tonight.
About 100 meteors per hour can be seen streaking across the sky during the shower's peak, NASA astronomers say.
The peak, however, is at about 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, meaning people in Canada won't get to the see it at its zenith.
The Perseids are named for the location of their appearance in the sky within Perseus, but the actual origin of the meteor shower can be traced to debris left behind from the 109P/Swift-Tuttle comet, which passes through the inner solar system every 130 years.
