Get ready for an awe-inspiring display as the annual Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak this August 12 lighting up the sky!
This year, conditions are ideal for a breathtaking show, with only a sliver of moon in the sky. According to reports from AP, if you have clear weather and a good dark sky, venture out just before dawn, and you’ll be treated to the mesmerizing sight of a Perseid meteor appearing approximately every minute!
Fun fact: The Perseids stand out as one of the most prominent meteor showers visible to us, gracing the late summer skies each year. Their origin can be traced back to comet Swift-Tuttle, a colossal icy rock hurtling through space. As the comet orbits the sun, it sheds fragments of dusty debris along its path.
Happy Sky-gazing!
