Next weekend, a meteor shower The most anticipated of all years: The Perseids. At the top of about 60 shooting stars per hour, the show can be seen even without the use of a telescope or binoculars.
But this year, the brightness of the full moon, Super MoonIt can be a bit of a hassle for amateur astronomers. Still, the attempt to see objects passing through the sky is well worth it.
Every year, August hosts a celestial spectacle: a meteor shower known as the Perseids crosses the night sky. This year the event will take place early in the day, on Saturday the 13th.
The full moon should be a bit of a distraction, but the Perseids are so abundant and bright that you should still be able to see them. Even amateur or novice astronomers can easily find these objects in the sky.
They are called Heroes as they appear in the direction of the Perseus constellation, but anyone who wants to observe the spectacle need not worry about this because they wander in all directions.
The phenomenon should last several days, but the peak will be on Saturday. Those who have an appointment on that date can try to make the observations another day, preferably before the weekend. The best time to see the Perseids is just after midnight.
How did the Perseids appear?
As a comet travels through space, it leaves a trail of debris that marks its path. This is what happened when Swift-Tuttle passed Earth’s orbit in 1992.
Now, around August every year, we pass through this dust cloud, and some of these rock grains that are left behind eventually enter our atmosphere, forming the meteor shower.
