Where is the meteor shower?

Where is the meteor shower?

KUALA LUMPUR:  Many waited for the meteor shower which was reported that it could be seen from any open space with clear skies from Monday night to Monday night to early Tuesday morning

"The Perseid meteor showers occurs as the Earth passes through the Swift-Tuttle comet's dusty trail and its debris hurtle into the planet's atmosphere and flare up in brilliant meteors or shooting stars," said National Space Agency (Angkasa), head of space science research unit, Mohd Fairos Asillam yesterday.

Many slept late, excited to observe the Perseid meteor showers. However, many were left disappointed, especially those in Kuala Lumpur, as it rained heavily earlier today.
