It's actually been all week long, but the best time to view it apparently is after midnight tonight. You still have plenty of time to find a dark spot away from the city lights.

Yes there is sweetie, it's the Perseids meteor shower, don't worry this shower lasts a little over 4 days, and it does begin on Aug 12, look towards the east around 1 a.m. ther should be a hourly rate of about 50 meteors per hour. hope this helps

Try heading outside now. You're probably not going to see many with city lights, so if you're in a big city, try waking up around 4am. Keep looking around the entire sky. I recommend just laying down on a roof and looking up. Good luck!

For all astronomy questions please go to Sky and Telescope Magazine and all answers will be found there. The location is in Perseus. Its close to the North Star Polaris.
