Episode Details

Don’t miss the Perseid meteor shower’s peak tonight—August 12th into early morning of the 13th—with a new moon making for pitch-black skies and maximum visibility. Caused by Earth slicing through debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, these shooting stars light up best before dawn, away from city lights, toward the east-northeast horizon. Grab your blankets, no gear needed—though you’ll want to be there for the main show, as numbers drop sharply after August 14th. If you miss this one, keep an eye out for the Orionids in October.
