Top Three Videos from the Perseid Meteor Shower

By Grace Muller, AccuWeather.com Staff Writer

Published Aug 15, 2012 9:17 AM EDT | Updated Aug 16, 2012 4:42 PM EDT

Copied

All across the United States, astronomy fans stayed up late Saturday to catch a glimpse of the Perseids meteors streaking across the sky.

The Perseids meteors peaked during the evening of Aug. 11-12, with a viewing rate of as many as 100 meteors an hour.

False

Correction: Facebook commenter Matt Tazbin said that this video, originally our top pick from the weekend meteor shower, is from 2009, not 2012.
