TL;DR

The Perseid meteor shower, running from July 14 to September 1, 2024, peaks on the night of August 11-12. For optimal viewing, head to a dark sky location, avoid light pollution, and watch from late evening to dawn. Expect to see around 50 meteors per hour at the peak. The shower is caused by debris from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle.
