Find the darkness and come up with your wishes, my babies: the annual meteorites of Perseid’s annual shower is.

Among the best shows in the sky of our solar system, Perseids will be visible in all the United States and most of the northern hemisphere in the coming days.

Here is everything you need to know.

Perseid Meteor Should 2025

The Perseid meteor shower is visible from Thursday, July 17 to the end of August.

The appearance of this week’s showers aligns with a moon phase of the last quarter, which means that the skies will be dark enough to really complement the fire of a few early meteorites.

In North America, visualization can begin until 22:00 and last hours before dawn.

The Perseids are expected to reach their zenith or maximum scratch on the evening of August 12, continuing until dawn on August 13.

However, and unfortunately, due to the increase and brightness of the full moon in Aquarius on August 9, the shower peak will not coincide with the conditions of maximum visualization, since only the brightest shooting stars will be visible.

Meteor Shower July 2025

Because the Moon is a real murderer and a light pollution during the Perseid peak, the best time to see the show will be in the first days of the showers, from 18 to 28 July.

The darkest phase of the moon, the new moon, arrives on July 24, providing the main canvas for the celestial show.

From then on, the moon is slowly winging to a growing. The sky will be top -notch until 28, when the moon shines will be built and will begin to compete with the shine of shooting stars.

When is the Perseid meteorite shower?

The best time to observe the Perseids is between 2 and 4 in the morning during this first time, up to 100 meteors per hour seem to scratch the surface of the sky.

NASA glowing geeks have previously stated that the fire balls, or large bright meteorites, are the Perseid Cosmic call card.

What is a meteor?

Meteors are born of comet particles and asteroid remains. When this glorious detritus travels around the Sun, leaves a trail behind.

When the Earth passes through these trails, the pieces of space collide with our atmosphere and burn, and their disintegration creates currents of color and fire in the sky.

The Perseid meteor shower comes from the comet formerly known as Swift-Tuttle, formally designated 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Every year, our planet crosses the orbital path of the comet and moves through a trail of waste, with pieces and pieces of the comet, falling spectacularly to the upper atmosphere of the Earth.

Where can you see the Perseid meteor shower?

Due to the path of Swift-Tuttle’s orbit, the Perseid meteorite shower is more visible in the northern latitudes. As the radiant to Perseus never rises above the horizon to the southern latitudes, the Skygazers in the South Hemisphere significantly less meteors than their northern counterparts.

Perseid mythology

The Meteor Perseid shower is named Perseus, the Greek hero climbing Gorgon.

The showers are associated with Perseus because the radiant, or the point from which the Perseids appear in the sky, is in the direction of the Perseus constellation.

It is thought that the Sky Show commemorates the golden conception of Perseus, in which the god of Father Zeus permeated his mother Danae through a gold shower.

Kinky.

The Perseids are also known, biblically and poetically, like the “tears of Sant Llorenç”, as they reach the date of the martyrdom of the saint on August 10.

Funned, Sant Llorenç is the patron saint of chefs and firefighters, due to perhaps once he was allegedly roasted alive in a gradron. In the heaviest drop of Mic of all time, it is said that he told his torturers at one point: “I am cooked on this side; turn -me and eat.”

The Perseids are better below light skies and far from the hassle of the crowds and the ugly interference of light pollution.

And, although many noob will get a telescope or a binocular, it is better to take the entire sky, instead of a small part.

Meteors can and appear anywhere there, but the best bet is to look at the darkest part of the sky offered by your location. To get the best results, put -flat on your back with your feet south. After about 30 minutes, the eyes will fit into the dark.

Avoid looking at the phone during meteor shower. Will deteriorate your night vision and disturb your old connection with the previous and later.

Look, want it well and feel the gravity of being cosmic and creative, infinitesimal and infinite.

Meteor showers 2025

In addition to the Perseids, we will see the fortuitous flood of the Aquariides Delta and the Alpha Capricorns on the night of July 29, tripling the possibilities of seeing shooting stars in July.

At the end of this year, the geminid meteor shower will be active from December 4 to 17, reaching the evening of December 14. However, because the moon full of twins will be raised and shone on December 9, the Peak of the Geminids, like the Perseides, will have to compete with the obstruction of lunar light.
