Perseid Meteor Shower Lights Up August Nights
The annual Perseid meteor shower has once again set the night sky ablaze with its breathtaking display. On Tuesday night, stargazers across the world enjoyed one of the most dazzling meteor showers of the year. Viewers reported seeing up to 60 meteors per hour, with some lucky observers spotting as many as 100 meteors streaking across the heavens. This celestial event happens every August, as Earth passes through the debris trail left by the comet Swift-Tuttle.
Best Tips for Viewing the Perseids
For the best Perseid experience, find a dark spot away from city lights and look up after midnight when the shower is most active. The Perseids are famous for their bright, long-lasting streaks and occasional fireballs. You don’t need any special equipment—just your eyes and a bit of patience. Don’t miss this chance to witness one of nature’s most spectacular light shows. The Perseid meteor shower will continue for a few more nights, so keep watching the skies!
