Perseid Meteor Shower: Your Guide to the Best Viewing This Summer
TL;DR
The Perseid meteor shower, a highlight of summer skywatching, is hampered this year by the moon, but observers can still enjoy four other minor meteor showers (Delta Aquarids, Alpha Capricornids, Eta Eridanids, Kappa Cygnids) between July 29 and August 16, with the best viewing conditions before midnight and in dark skies. These showers offer a variety of meteors in different colors and speeds, providing a rewarding experience for sky enthusiasts.
