Sky watchers have another option in viewing the 2013 Perseid meteor shower during its August 11 and 12 peak activities in case of bad weather condition, clouds obstructing the view or the night skies polluted with bright lights. Live coverage on the meteor shower will be available online at SPACE.com courtesy of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Slooh Space Camera.

Starting at sunset, NASA's all-sky camera located at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama will be offering a live view of the night sky and any meteors that flare up overhead. "The webcast caught 14 Perseid meteors during its first night on Saturday, Aug. 10," the MSFC officials stated.

The available link in viewing the 2013 Perseid meteor shower is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nasa-msfc where camera activation starts at about 9 p.m. EDT (06:30:00 a.m IST). Either a dark grey box or a pre-recorded footage can be seen on the link during daytime.

"We can expect to see as many as 100 meteors per hour at the peak of the shower, including many fireballs visible in the night sky," NASA declared. The Slooh Space Camera will be providing a free webcast starting at approximately 7 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT) coming from its observatory located on Mt. Tiede in the Canary Islands, off of Africa's western coast.

Online viewers can check out the feed at SPACE.com or straight from Slooh through the Slooh Space Camera Web site. Additionally, NASA meteor experts Bill Cooke, Danielle Moser and Rhiannon Blaauw will be present to chat and give explanations to questions asked about the Perseid meteor shower which has been monitored for more than 2000 years.

For 2013, the Perseid meteor shower will be observable in numerous parts of the world such as Asia, the United Kingdom, United States, Far East and Australia. To best view the 2013 Perseid meteor shower peak outside on August 11 and 12, sky gazers are recommended to search for an open sky far away from the bright city lights since the dazzling meteor display comes from all directions.

Be sure to keep warm and comfortable while lying on the ground and looking up into the night sky. Allow the eyes to adjust to the darkness for about 30 minutes before viewing the remarkable spectacle.
