Perseids
Perseids, 11 and 12th of August.
In general best time to observe them is in the early morning.
The late-night side ( or early-morning side) of our planet is then turned toward the outside of the solar system. We then fly into any Perseids, rather than having them overtake us.

Only thing I did was move it to the "Astronomical Events" forum.
I just love crashing the TEST forum!!!
