Question

Will you be able to see the meteor shower on tues 9/12 from california & if so at wat time?

Answer 1

Any time after dark.  I would wait till the moon sets.

Answer 2

You probably mean 8/12.

Answer 3

The peak for the Perseids this year will be at about 3:00 in the morning, California time, on the morning of the 12th. If you're away from the lights of the city, you should see about 60 meteors per hour.

Though you'll still see some at any other part of the night, the moon will set at about 1:00 in the morning, making for much darker skies. And any time you're looking for shooting stars, the hours between midnight and sunrise are the best times of the night to look since the part of Earth that you are on is facing in the direction it orbits around the Sun.

So really, 3:00 in the morning on the 12th is going to be the best time, but any time between 1:00 and sunrise will be good.
