The Perseids, one of the most anticipated meteor showers of the year, is set to reach its peak on the night of August 12-13. This annual celestial event is known for producing a high number of shooting stars, making it an exciting sight for stargazers. According to experts, the best time to observe the Perseids is during the early morning hours of August 13, when the shower is expected to be at its most active. Observers can expect to see up to 50-100 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, with the possibility of even more during the peak. To make the most of the Perseids, it is recommended to find a location away from city lights, with a clear view of the sky.
