How to Watch the Most Powerful Meteor Shower of the Summer

The night sky is about to put on one of its most spectacular shows of the year — and you won’t need a telescope to enjoy it. The Perseid meteor shower, a favorite among stargazers, is back and promises up to 100 dazzling streaks of light per hour.

Often called nature’s fireworks, meteor showers happen when tiny bits of space debris burn up in Earth’s atmosphere, creating bright trails across the sky. The Perseids are known for their long, colorful streaks that make them one of the most popular annual events for skywatchers.

This year, the Perseids have been active since July 17 and will continue lighting up the sky until August 23. But the real magic happens on the peak night — August 12 to 13 — when the shower will be at its brightest and busiest.

So if you want to catch the strongest meteor display of the summer, mark your calendar for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Find a dark spot away from city lights, let your eyes adjust, and get ready for a cosmic spectacle you’ll never forget.
