Make arrangements to view a meteor shower. Figure 9-38 lists the dates of maximum intensity of the major showers. Often, a good display can be seen a day or two before or after the maximum date. Ideally, you need a clear, moonless sky. The Moon’s glow in the sky will hide many of the faint meteor trails.
