The Perseid Meteor Shower is also called the "Tears of St. Lawrence" because it occurs roughly about the same date as St. Lawrence's death on August 10.
Astronomers are estimating a double peak this year for viewers in the eastern portion of North America on Wednesday morning the 12th of August 2009. One peak should occur around 1:00 a.m. EST and the other peak around 5:30 a.m. EST.
