Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Amid Planetary Convergence
Reading
The Perseids are a meteor shower. It happens in the summer sky. Venus and Jupiter will look like one bright star. They will meet in the sky.
A bright moon will make it hard to see. Experts say wait a week for a darker sky. The Perseids are an amazing meteor shower. You can see many shooting stars.
Without a moon, you can see many meteors. Maybe sixty to one hundred per hour. With the moon, you may see only ten to twenty. Go out later when the moon is less bright.
Earth moves around the sun. It passes through space rocks from comets. These rocks enter Earth's air and burn. They make bright shooting stars.
You do not need special tools to see them. Find a dark place away from city lights. Look up and not down at your phone. The next shower is the Orionids in October.
