Next few mornings ... Perseids peaking ☄️
In 2020, the peak morning of the Perseid meteor shower is most likely August 12, under the light of a wide waning crescent moon. The mornings of August 11 and 13 are worth trying, too. The morning of August 13 will present a thinner and less bright moon than on the previous dates ... and also more hours of dark sky for meteor watching. So moonrise is a key factor for watching 2020's Perseid meteor shower. Visit the Sunrise Sunset Calendars to find out when the moon rises in your sky, remembering to check the moonrise and moonset box. Also, keep in mind that the Perseids tend to be bright. So we expect a number of them to overcome the moonlit glare over the next several mornings. Will you see as many as 40 to 50 meteors per hour in the predawn hours? Maybe!
