Earth is entering a huge stream of debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower.
Forecasters expect meteor rates to peak at 100+ per hour on the night of Aug. 12-13 when our planet passes through the heart of the debris stream. http://spaceweather.com/
Since 2008, the Perseids have produced more fireballs than any other annual meteor shower.
