Perseids Meteor Shower 2025: Peak Expectations and Moonlight Challenges
TL;DR Summary
The Perseids meteor shower will peak next week but will be less visible due to a full moon, which may wash out the view. Best viewing is before dawn, especially in the Northern Hemisphere, but patience and proper positioning are recommended. The meteors originate from the Swift-Tuttle comet and are most popular in summer because of the favorable weather conditions.
