Perseid meteor shower begins, promising up to 100 meteors per hour

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The annual Perseid meteor shower is set to begin today, July 17, and will continue until August 24, with its peak expected on the night of August 12-13. This celestial event is caused by Earth passing through debris from Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, and this year's peak is anticipated to offer exceptional viewing conditions due to a new moon. Observers could witness up to 100 meteors per hour under dark skies, making it one of the most reliable and anticipated astronomical events of the year. AI
