CJOB News Team reporting
8/11/2012

A dazzling celestial lightshow awaits Manitobans willing to venture outside the city late Saturday night and into the wee hours of Sunday morning...

The Perseides meteor shower is an annual cosmic event that happens at the same time every summer, as Earth passes through comet 'Swift-Tuttle's tail...

For the ultimate viewing experience, grab a blanket and head to the country between 11 Saturday night and 4:30 Sunday morning... That's when the shower's expected to hit its peak...

Just look toward the northeast section of the sky, and watch, as up to eighty brilliant flashes of light can be seen streaking across the sky!
