When the Perseid meteor shower will be visible in Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The annual Perseid meteor shower, one of the best celestial shows of the year, will peak late Sunday night.

The good news is that there will be minimal interference from moonlight that could otherwise dim our view of the "shooting stars." The first quarter moon will set a little before midnight Sunday night, providing us with an opportunity to see the meteor shower between about midnight and 5 a.m., when Earth will turn in the direction of the oncoming meteors.
