Astronomers reveal how to observe the peak of the Perseid meteor shower on August 13

The Perseid meteor shower, which claims to be the most spectacular meteor shower of the year, will peak on August 13. starwalk.space.

Perseid activity can reach 100 meteors per hour. Shooting stars will not be hindered by moonlight, as the meteor shower almost coincides with the new moon.

Astronomers remind that meteors can be seen in the constellation Perseus (this explains the name of the meteor shower) and recommend choosing an open place with a dark sky away from city lights for observation.
