The Perseid meteor shower 2014 will be at its most dazzling late tonight into early Wednesday (August 12 to 13), according to CBS New York. Find out where to watch the Perseid meteor shower 2014 in the USA and specifically in NYC to catch the beautiful natural spectacle tonight!

The Perseid meteor shower will also be joined by the Delta Aquarid meteor shower, so it's going to be one active night sky on August 12. EarthSky.org says stargazers can expect 50 to 100 meteors per hour at the peak of the Perseids.

However, the waning supermoon will still be high and bright in the sky, meaning that it could be difficult to see the meteor shower in its full glory.

"Despite a bright moon, there should still be a good show from this prolific shower," NASA wrote on its website. "Much of the world can see Perseid any time after full dark, with peak viewing projected on the early morning of Aug 13."

"The best time to see the showers will be at around 2 a.m.," Tony Berendsen, an outreach astronomer and founder of Tahoe Star Tours, told ABC News.

"To see the meteor shower, you don't need a telescope, binoculars or any other equipment," Berendsen said. "All you need is your eyes."

The Perseids meteor shower is the result of space debris from the tail of the Swift-Tuttle comet striking the Earth's atmosphere.

The best time to watch is late night until dawn, which is when the sky is darkest.

According to CBS 2, beaches are the perfect viewing spot because they have limited overhead lights, creating a darker sky above. This would be ideal for stargazer in the USA and NYC.

"The combination of the meteor shower and the supermoon really is a great excuse for people to get out and enjoy the nighttime sky," explained David Bush, Vanderbilt Planetarium, CBS New York reports.
