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 any time of the night (best around 2 am), 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. The Moon (32%) gets in the way for part of the night — watch after it sets.
