The Perseid meteor shower should be dazzling Bay Area skies Sunday night and Monday morning if weather and wildfires don’t get in the way.
According to Andrew Fraknoi, who teaches at the University of San Francisco and San Francisco State University and is emeritus chair of the astronomy department at Foothill College, the meteors are remnants of the Swift-Tuttle comet that passed through the solar system for the first time since 1992.
