The Perseid meteor shower, the marquee night-gazing event of the summer, peaks Tuesday morning. The cascade of shooting stars, originating in the constellation Perseus, will generate up to two meteors per minute.The best time to see the meteors is after about 1:30 a.m., when the moon has set and much of its glare has been eliminated. The Perseus constellation will be the northeast section of the sky, but the meteors get brighter and longer as they rocket away from the radiant, their point of origination.
