Dark-Skies Show: Perseids Meteor Shower to Greet Partial Solar Eclipse Across the U.S.
TL;DR
A partial solar eclipse on August 12 will be followed by the Perseids meteor shower, visible from North Carolina to Alaska on August 12–13. NASA says debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle will produce 50–100 meteors per hour, including fireballs, with darker skies from the new moon boosting visibility. The event chapter spans a broad swath of the continental U.S., offering stargazers a two-night celestial display if skies stay clear.
