Meteor rain make headlines around the world and everyone seems to be trying to steal a few to look at the falling stars. Perseid meteors are expected especially in North America, where they come in large quantities for a few days.
Today will be the best night to watch them, and if you do not sleep at midnight and the sky is clear, that I'm sure you'd like to get to see at least a few meteors.
Experts say that 12 and 13 August are the peak of Perseid meteors.
People around the world are very happy and twitter it seems the most debated topics today.
Here are some comments to Twitter
