The Perseids meteor shower has been active since July 17, but will peak late on Tuesday, Aug. 12, into early Wednesday, Aug. 13.

Kratom is marketed as an "all-natural" supplement that can help reduce pain, anxiety, and depression, among other ailments. For some individuals who are wary of typical pharmaceutical medicines — as McKibban reportedly was — kratom can be an attractive alternative.

The Perseids are peaking tonight and Tuesday with mostly clear skies on tap. But will haze and a somewhat full moon play spoiler?
