Catch the Perseid Meteor Shower: Viewing Tips for Cochrane Residents

The annual Perseid meteor shower is captivating stargazers in Cochrane, running until August 24, with peak activity anticipated on the nights of August 12 and 13, when up to 100 meteors per hour may be visible. Local enthusiast Tim Giese advises watching after 10:30 p.m. for the best experience, preferably in areas with minimal light pollution. Despite the heightened activity, this year’s full moon on August 9 could hinder visibility, especially during peak viewing. Giese suggests seeking darker skies around the new moon on July 24 or after the peak for a better chance to see the meteors. Preparation is key: bring blankets, warm clothing, and check conditions through reliable sky resources. Recommended viewing locations include Glenbow Ranch and Big Hill Springs.
