The astronomical community is preparing for one of the most attractive celestial events – the Perseid meteor shower, which will reveal an impressive series of light phenomena in the night sky. According to expert analysis, observers can expect an impressive number of about 100 meteors within an hour.
Specialists point out that the most suitable observation period is between July 18 and 28, with the event's culmination expected on August 12–13. Despite the presence of the bright Sturgeon Moon on August 9, astronomical conditions remain favorable, especially in the early morning hours between 2 and 4.
The origin of this impressive phenomenon lies in the waste particles of the Swift-Tuttle comet, which create spectacular light trajectories when entering the Earth's atmosphere. The meteor shower represents a true visual celebration that attracts the attention of professional and amateur observers from the entire Northern Hemisphere.
Scientific circles recommend optimal conditions for maximum impactful observation – choosing dark locations, far from city lights, and patiently waiting during the most active hours of the night.
