Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Saturday Night
Catch a Glimpse of Cosmic Wonder
Best Viewing After Midnight
Get ready for a celestial spectacle this weekend as the Perseid meteor shower enters its peak on Saturday night, August 12th. The meteor shower, which originates from the constellation Perseus, is known for its numerous and bright meteors.
For the best viewing experience, astronomers recommend staying up past midnight, around 2 am. At this time, the source of the meteors, the comet Swift-Tuttle, will be directly overhead. However, even before midnight, you may be able to spot some of the brightest meteors streaking across the sky.
Astronomy enthusiasts will be in for a treat as the Perseid meteor shower is expected to be particularly active this year. With almost no moonlight expected, the night sky will be dark, providing optimal conditions for meteor viewing.
