What is special this year is that the moon is almost not in the sky, three days before the moon reaches its first quarter and sets well before midnight, local time, so it will be possible to see many meteors.

Larger meteorites cause bright flashes of light when they hit Earth's atmosphere, such as this fireball captured during the Perseid shower on August 12, 2006. However, the bulk of meteoric activity is much less spectacular - about 10-40 tons of meteor dust enters the atmosphere ours every day. Photo: Pierre Martin

Tonight's Perseid-like meteor shower is only the tip of the iceberg. NASA maps tons of meteor dust in the sky every day

A sky map suitable for Israel on the night of October 8 and showing the northern horizon highlighting the constellations. A group of dragons is visible to the left of the middle of the picture, to the right of the group of the little bear (at the end of its tail is the North Star) to the left of a group of villains (which is part of the summer triangle), both groups are familiar and easy to identify. The image is from Stellarium, an open source astronomy software.
