Perseid Meteor Shower 2022: When, where and how to watch the brilliant display of shooting stars
As we get ready to kiss the summer season goodbye, nature is all ready to put up a show as well. Every year between July and August the Perseid meteor shower returns lighting up the sky and leaving everyone gaping in awe. A lot of meteors will be rocketing through the sky, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has shared the dates and their primetime.
Often described as a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle, are called Perseids because the point from which they appear to hail lies in the constellation Perseus. Fox Weather confirms that the Perseids are most active from July 17 to August 24, as per NASA. The peak of this mesmerizing meteor shower is said to be from August 11 to August 13. Every summer, Earth passes the comet which causes the shower. But NASA confirms that our home will not run into the comet any time soon. As per the weather channel, if you're positioned in the Northern Hemisphere, it's most comfortable as you can spot up to 40 meteors in an hour.
