It’s nearly that time of year again! Time to get a peek of the annual Perseid meteor shower.
The Perseid meteor shower occurs every year in late July and early August in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Earth passes through the dusty remains of the comet; “Swift-Tuttle”. In the night sky, the meteor shower appears to radiate out of the constellation Perseus, hence, its name: Perseid meteor shower.
The 11th, 12th and 13th of August, is a good time to see the shower. The moon will be a waning crescent and the meteors should be flying at a rate close to their peak – about 50 or 60 meteors per hour.
So get outside, away from city lights, look up and enjoy.
