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.
