Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight: Viewing Tips and Highlights

The Perseid meteor shower peaks overnight August 12-13, offering a spectacular display of up to 100 meteors per hour, visible to the naked eye or via a free online livestream by the Virtual Telescope Project. Best viewing occurs between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. local time in dark, open skies, despite the bright moon, with bright fireballs still visible. The shower originates from debris left by Comet Swift-Tuttle, which poses no threat to Earth in the foreseeable future.

Perseid Meteor Shower Peak: How and When to Watch in 2025

The Perseid meteor shower peaks on Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, with best viewing opportunities between dusk and moonrise on Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning, despite the bright moon reducing visibility. The shower, originating from the constellation Perseus, will produce fewer meteors this year due to the moon's brightness, but viewers can still expect to see 10-20 meteors per hour. The event coincides with a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, visible in the eastern sky before sunrise, and Saturn will also be visible near the moon.
