The famous Perseids, among the year's most spectacular meteor showers, will hit their peak on the night of August 11.
One of the year’s most spectacular meteor showers is about to reach its peak. Here’s what you need to know to get the best view of the Perseid meteor shower.
The meteors are renowned for their bright colors and long tails, as well as for being as plentiful as they are beautiful. During the peak, up to 100 meteors are anticipated to cross the sky every hour, making the shower one of the most bountiful of the year. The Perseids’ only competition on that front may be the Geminids, which take place in mid-December. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer weather makes watching the Perseids a much more pleasant option.
