๐ Perseids Are Peaking Tonight โ New Moon Makes This One of the Best Viewing Years in a While
The Perseid meteor shower hits its peak on the night of August 12-13, and this year's timing is nearly perfect: the new Moon means the sky stays genuinely dark, with no moonlight washing out the fainter streaks. The Perseids are debris shed by Comet Swift-Tuttle, and Earth plows through the densest part of the trail every August โ producing dozens of meteors per hour at peak. Head away from city lights and look up after midnight for the best show. How many have you spotted so far?
