How to see it
Best time for meteors: after midnight until dawn, when the radiant is high. Look about halfway up the sky, away from city lights. Go somewhere dark after midnight, lie back and look at the whole sky, not at the radiant. Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt and don’t look at your phone. It is better seen from the southern hemisphere and low latitudes. A bright Moon (100%) washes out faint meteors; only the brightest will show.
