Celestial Spectacle: Perseid Meteor Shower to Peak

Get Ready for a Starry Night

Prepare to witness a celestial extravaganza this weekend as the highly anticipated Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak. This annual celestial phenomenon, occurring around this time each year, promises a breathtaking display of shooting stars across the night sky.

When and Where to Watch

The Perseids are expected to be most visible during the overnight hours from late Sunday night into early Monday morning, August 12th. Typically, the shower exhibits a twin peak in activity, but this year's peak is anticipated around 300 Universal Time (UT) on August 12th. Observers in the Northern Hemisphere will have the best views, with up to 100 meteors per hour potentially visible.
