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
