Ljubljana, 11 August - The Perseid meteor shower will peak in the next two nights, when avid observers will be able to spot a shooting star approximately once per minute. While this year's meteor shower is not exceptional, clear skies are forecast, which makes skywatching easier, astronomy and astrophysics professor Tomaž Zwitter told the STA.
