The Perseid meteor shower is an annual event that is often very popular among skygazers due to the high hourly rate and bright meteors caused by the Earth slamming into the debris left behind by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle in July and August every year. The shower creates very bright meteors and is one of the most active, offering a high chance of seeing fireballs as well as meteors with long trains.
The Perseid meteor will be active in the night sky between July 17 and August 24, with expectations it will peak from 12-13 August.
To get the best view of the Perseid meteor shower, you'll need to get away from light pollution, lay down or sit facing southeast, and turn off phones and torches 15 minutes before to allow your eyes to adjust.
