About Perseid Meteor Shower 2026

The Perseid Meteor Shower is one of the most spectacular annual celestial events, lighting up the August night sky with up to 100 shooting stars per hour at its peak. Produced by debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, the Perseids radiate from the constellation Perseus and are best viewed in the early hours before dawn from a dark location away from city lights. The peak falls around August 12–13 each year, making it the perfect summer star-gazing occasion for skywatchers of all ages.
