Perseid Meteor Shower Viewing
Details
Come let us enjoy the decade’s best Shooting stars/ meteor shower together. The Perseid meteor shower will peak overnight on August 12–13, 2026 which is widely considered the best meteor shower of the year due to its high hourly rates, bright meteors, and warm summer viewing conditions.This year's display is expected to be one of the best in decades because the peak coincides perfectly with a New Moon. With no bright moonlight to wash out the sky, conditions will be exceptionally dark, allowing you to see even the faintest shooting stars
Science Behind: The Perseid shower occurs every year when Earth passes through the ancient debris trail left behind by Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. As Earth slams into this stream of dust and ice particles at roughly 60 kilometers per second (130,000 mph), the friction vaporizes the debris, creating the glowing streaks we see as shooting stars
