☄️ Perseids · peak Aug 13 · ~100/hr · 🌕 moon 99%

Monday, July 17, 2079 – August 24, 2079 All day

Peak: August 13, 2079, around 16:00 UTC — up to about 100 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 99% 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.
