Perseid Meteor Shower 2025: Viewing Tips Despite the Full Moon

The 2025 Perseid meteor shower will peak on August 12-13, but bright moonlight from the nearly full moon will make viewing challenging. Despite the moon's interference, some meteors will still be visible, especially if viewers watch with their backs to the moon and manage expectations for fewer shooting stars. The best viewing window is around the peak night, with the moon tracing a low arc across the sky, and the radiant point in Perseus rising in the northeast.
