The Perseids Are Coming — August 12–13! 🌠 Get ready, stargazers! On these nights, the Perseid meteor shower will peak, filling the sky with bright, fast-moving meteors — sometimes up to 100 an hour at the height of the show. These flashes of light are tiny bits of comet Swift-Tuttle burning up in Earth’s atmosphere at incredible speeds. At its peak, you might spot up to 100 meteors every hour, each one a glowing streak born from ancient comet dust racing through our atmosphere at breathtaking speeds. No telescope required — just find a dark, open spot, get comfy, and let your eyes adjust to the night. Want the best view? Escape the city lights, bring a blanket, and give yourself 20–30 minutes in the dark to truly take in the show. Whether you see a few or a sky full, the Perseids are proof that the cosmos still loves to surprise us.
