I'm new to this list and hope this question is not too elementary
or has already been answered.

The August Sky and Telescope predicts the first peak of the
Perseid shower to occur at roughly 0h UT August 12 and the
second, traditional, peak to occur roughly 12 hours later.
I don't recall the new peak and the traditional peak of the
Perseid shower being 12 hours apart.

Is S&T's prediction of Perseid peaks at 0h UT and 12h UT
on August 12 widely accepted?
