The Perseid meteor shower will peak Sunday night, giving astronomy fans one of the best shows of 2024 as they look to the skies. The shower started in July and will continue through most of August, but it will peak overnight on Sunday into Monday, NASA said. The Perseids are considered the "best meteor shower of the year" by NASA, with about 50 to 100 meteors seen per hour under ideal conditions. What time will the Perseid meteor shower peak tonight?The best time to catch the Perseids is in the pre-dawn hours, according to NASA, but it is possible to view meteors...

What time and where the Perseid meteor shower will peak

The Perseids peak on Sunday night, August 11-12 and just might be joined by a colorful display of northern lights. On Sunday night, August 11-12, the annual Perseid blast will crest to a peak. Dozens of meteors will flash across the sky per hour especially after midnight, when the crescent Moon sets and the shower's streaming point climbs high in the northeastern sky. That's not all. In what could be a spectacular two-fer, there's an excellent possibility that roughly the northern third of the U.S. will also experience a G2 geomagnetic storm with aurora visible as far south as New York, Idaho and northern Iowa. Aurora and Perseids at the same time? Now that would be exciting!

Although it gives them food, water, a temporary roof over their heads, and hope for a forever home, a shelter is not an ideal place for dogs. There is too much noise, numerous people who just come and go, and shelter employees who cannot dedicate themselves to them as much as a loving owner could.

The Perseid meteor shower is one we can count on every summer for a great show, weather permitting, and this year’s event reaches its peak tonight.

You’ll want to find a viewing spot with clear, dark skies, but you won’t need any special equipment to get the most out of the experience — the meteors should be plentiful, and visible to the naked eye.
