Perseid Meteor Shower 2024

The Perseid meteor shower is one of the most anticipated celestial events of the year! The Perseids will peak tonight August 11-12 and also tomorrow night.

Peak Viewing Time: The best time to watch is from midnight to dawn, as the moon will set around midnight, providing dark skies.

Location: Look towards the constellation Perseus, which rises in the northeast around 11 p.m. local time.

Meteor Rate: Under ideal conditions, you might see up to 80-100 meteors per hour. Get into darker areas away from light pollution for the best chance to see the meteors!

Get out of the city, if possible, to an area with little light pollution
Check the weather to adequately prepare for the conditions
Allow 20 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darker skies above
Avoid using any devices. This will expose your eyes to bright lights
