The Perseid meteor shower is one of the most prolific showers of the year, producing rich, bright streaks.  The Perseids are active from mid-July until late August and will peak on the night of Aug. 12, before dawn on Aug. 13, 2024.

Viewers can start observing around 11 p.m. local time when the rates of shooting stars increase and can watch the sky until dawn. 

The Perseid meteor shower radiant is in the constellation Perseus. This strong shower is produced by Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, an icy body that takes 133 Earth years to orbit once around the sun.

If there’s a clear sky, the Perseids will have a meteor rate of about 100 visible “shooting stars” per hour.
