Perseid Meteor Shower 2025: Peak Viewing Tips and Highlights
TL;DR Summary
The Perseid meteor shower, one of the year's most spectacular celestial events, peaks on August 12-13 but will be affected by the moonlight, reducing visibility. To maximize viewing, go to dark, rural areas after midnight, look northeast toward Perseus, and prepare for comfortable, dark conditions. Despite moonlight interference, enthusiasts can still enjoy a modest display of 10-20 meteors per hour.
