The combination of the meteor shower and the planetary conjunction makes this morning truly special for astronomy enthusiasts.
Set your alarm early and don’t miss this rare opportunity to see Venus, Jupiter, and the Perseids lighting up the sky together. Grab your binoculars or just use your eyes—the show promises to be unforgettable.
