Starry nights ahead: Celestial spectacle to light up skies through August - check details
Friday, 18 July 2025 () The Perseid meteor shower, active from July 17 to August 23, peaks on August 12-13, potentially offering 50-75 meteors per hour. Caused by Earth traversing Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle's debris, optimal viewing requires dark locations away from city lights, focusing on the Perseus constellation. While UK visibility may be affected by cloud cover, clearer skies are anticipated the following week.
