Look Up! The Perseid Meteor Shower Could Light Up the Jersey Shore Sky

Most of us wouldn't complain about seeing 50 or 60 shooting stars, but this year's Perseid meteor shower could be even more impressive with 100-plus streaks of light possible. 

First, we have to hope for nice clear skies Thursday and Friday. Experts are saying that our best chances of seeing the most shooting stars will be during the early morning hours on Friday (1 a.m. - 4:30 a.m.)

For best viewing, be away from light pollution. The beach is always your best best. If the sky is clear, we could see everything from white streaks of light to colorful fireballs.
