Perseid Meteor Shower Expected to Be Less Visible Next Week
TL;DR Summary
The upcoming Perseid meteor shower will be significantly affected by a near-full moon, reducing visibility of shooting stars to about 12-18 per hour, instead of the usual 50-75, making it less spectacular than usual. In contrast, the Geminids meteor shower in December is expected to be much brighter and more impressive, with minimal moon interference.
