Conditions over Paris tonight
A bright Moon (81% lit) will wash out faint stars and the Milky Way tonight.
Meteors can appear anywhere in the sky — you don't need to find the radiant or use any equipment. Find the darkest spot you can, let your eyes adapt for 20 minutes, lie back, and watch. The hours after midnight are usually best, as your side of Earth turns to face the oncoming debris.
