Out of these, the Perseids are the biggest and the most well-known. They reach their peak this year on the night of Aug. 12-13. Typically, 50 to 70 meteors an hour can be seen when viewing in areas without light pollution. Unfortunately, this year the moon will be 84% full, making meteor gazing difficult with only the brightest meteors visible to the naked eye in Northern California. Regardless, it will be a great excuse to get out and look at the night sky.See more coverage of top California stories here | Download our app | Subscribe to our morning newsletter | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n The Earth is currently edging into three active meteor debris fields: the Southern Delta Aquariids, the Alpha Capricornids and the Perseids. <\/p>\n Out of these, the Perseids are the biggest and the most well-known. <\/p>\n They reach their peak this year on the night of Aug. 12-13.
