The Perseid meteor shower is described as one of the best shooting star displays of the year.
Attention all stargazers! The celestial event you've been eagerly waiting for is almost here - the Perseid meteor shower, also known as the Perseids, is currently active and it's an experience you won't want to miss.
Considered the best meteor shower of the year, Perseids frequently leave long "wakes" of light and colour behind them as they streak through Earth's atmosphere, according to NASA. Even better, the Perseids are one of the most abundant meteor showers, treating sky watchers to an impressive display of 50 to 100 meteors per hour. With warm summer nights prevailing, this celestial show can be comfortably observed by stargazers.
Viewing Tips For optimal viewing, the Perseids are best viewed in the Northern Hemisphere during the pre-dawn hours, although you may catch glimpses of meteors as early as 10 pm.
