The Perseids are here. Here's how to see the 'fireballs' of summer's brightest meteor shower

The Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak early Monday. Astronomers say it's one of the brightest and most easily visible showers of the year. This year’s peak activity coincides with a moon that is 44% full. More than 50 meteors should be visible per hour in rural areas away from city lights.
