Fleeting Meteor Shower Dazzles the Night Sky

This year’s Perseid meteor shower, peaking on the nights of August 12 and 13, may be hampered by a bright full moon that could obscure all but the brightest meteors. While the Perseids are visible from July 17 to August 23, the best viewing opportunities arise from July 18 to 28, coinciding with a new moon that offers darker skies. Observers should aim to watch the meteors away from the moonlight for optimal results, as Perseids travel at impressive speeds of 37 miles per second, leaving brief trails of light as they vaporize in the atmosphere. Patience is key for those hoping to glimpse these celestial wonders, even amidst moonlit conditions.
