Event

The Perseid meteor shower 2026 will peak overnight on August 12 into the pre-dawn hours of August 13. It is highly anticipated this year because the peak coincides with a near-new moon, providing exceptionally dark skies for maximum visibility of up to 100 meteors per hour. Maximum is at 5am.
