Perseid Meteor Shower Set to Illuminate August Night Sky

Local stargazers should mark their calendars for the dazzling Perseid meteor shower, peaking on August 12-13, with up to 100 meteors per hour predicted under ideal viewing conditions, according to NASA. This annual celestial event, caused by Earth passing through debris from Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, is particularly popular among amateur astronomers. Known for their brilliant trails and occasional fireballs, the meteors will be most visible in the pre-dawn hours, although they may appear as early as 10 p.m. Stargazers are encouraged to find dark, clear skies and look towards the northeast for the best experience. Grab a blanket and enjoy one of the year’s most thrilling night-sky events!
