Related: About this forumStargazers Have Another Chance To Watch Perseid Meteor Shower Tonight
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) New Yorkers looked to the heavens last night to watch the supermoon, but another celestial spectacle continues Monday night.
The Perseid meteor shower continues Monday and Tuesday. And its being joined by the Delta Aquarid meteor shower.
EarthSky.org says stargazers can expect 50 to 100 meteors per hour at the peak of the Perseids.
