his meteor shower- which varies in excitement and intensity from year to year- begins tomorrow- August 12.

According to the astronomy Web page StarDate- "The shower peaks early afternoon on the 12th, so the morning of the 12th (midnight to dawn) and late evening are the best times to watch from the U.S.."
