☄️ Perseids · peak Aug 12 · ~100/hr · 🌖 moon 81%

Monday, July 17, 1922 – August 24, 1922 All day

Peak: August 12, 1922, around 10:00 UTC — up to about 100 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 81% lit: a bright Moon, which will wash out all but the brightest meteors. Meteors seem to come from Perseus; the debris is from Comet Swift–Tuttle. The Northern Hemisphere's favorite: warm nights and bright, fast meteors. Peak times and rates: the International Meteor Organization's working list.
