The Perseid Meteor Shower peaked on Tuesday. This is how you can see it

Finally, it’s time to see the gorgeous display known as Perseid, one of the best meteor showers of the year.

The Perseid meteor shower is known for producing numerous bright meteors that leave long stripes behind, but will peak at 4pm on Tuesday.

Bill Cook, lead of NASA’s Meteor Environment Office, said it had produced around 40-50 visible meteors over the past few years, but it is likely that this year it won’t be seen that much. This is due to the fact that a Perseid shower occurs just after the full moon in August.

The moon is in decline with Gibbs’s faded state and about 85% of the lighting. This means that light from the moon makes the meteors more difficult. Experts say you may see around 10-20 meteors per hour.

The Perseid peak occurs in the US before sunset, but there are two hour windows between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, during which the Stargazers should aim to be outside to get a glimpse of the meteor.

“There’s an hour-long gap between the evening dusk and Moonrise on August 12th,” says Robert Lansford, Fireball Report Coordinator for the American Meteor Association.

These meteors leapt out in all directions from the constellation Perseus, located in the northern sky. However, Lansford said that at this point Perseus appears to be low on the horizon, so much of the meteor activity is blocked from sight.

“The meteor you’re looking at at the time will be called Earth Glaser. Most Perseid meteors can be seen in just milliseconds, but some Earth grass zers you might find “are very long, lasting a few seconds,” he added.

The last few hours before Wednesday’s Daybreak is another window that Lunsford recommends trying to watch the shower. “There is a bright moon in the south sky, but if you look north and head towards Perseus, the constellation, you can see a bright meteor.”

The Perseid peak occurs immediately after the combination of Venus and Jupiter, with the two planets still nearby and brightly glowing. The best view is in the eastern sky before sunrise.

“These are the two brightest planets,” said Lansford. “This (conjunct) occurs about once a year, but when you bring the two brightest planets closer to each other, it’s still spectacular.”

Saturn will also be taking part in the Night Heavenly Exhibition late Tuesday night. According to Earthsky, it appears near the moon and rises by midnight.

According to the American Meteor Society and Earthky, this is the peak day for other meteor showers expected in 2025.

Solar Eclipse of the Moon and Sun in 2025

As summer approaches the end, two solar eclipse events will be held.

According to date and time, on September 7th and 8th, a total lunar eclipse will be visible in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, eastern South America, Alaska and parts of Antarctica.

When the moon, the earth, and the moon are lined up, when the moon passes directly into the shadow of the earth, a solar eclipse of the moon occurs. This will make the moon look dark or dark.

According to the Natural History Museum in London, when the moon sits in the darkest part of the Earth’s shadow, the rays of the sun peer in through the refraction of the earth and light, giving the moon a reddish tint. Some call the result “blood moon.”

Two weeks later, on September 21st, we will see a partial solar eclipse in parts of Australia, the Atlantic, the Pacific Ocean and Antarctica.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon travels between the sun and the earth. In the case of a partial solar eclipse, the moon does not completely block the sun. It makes a crescent moon, just like a moon I bitten from the sun.
