People in Prague will have the chance to a meteor shower on the night of Aug. 12–13, and forecasts so far call for clear skies. The best viewing of the Perseid meteor shower should be from midnight to 4 am, and the moon will be almost in its new phase, so it will not be adding too much light to the sky. The meteor shower can be seen with the naked eye or binoculars. Meteors are colloquially called shooting stars.
