Perseid Meteor Shower 2017

With the solar eclipse just around the corner, the Perseid Meteor Shower isn’t getting as much attention as it usually does, or in this year’s case, the wrong kind of attention. There are false reports that this year’s Perseid’s will be “the brightest in human history”, but this is simply false.

If you want to learn more about this year’s Perseid Meteor Show, navigate to the NASA feature on their web site.

Need advice about viewing this years event? NASA has a nice video from 2015 that has some good tips.

The best viewing time is probably still accurate, but don’t forget this video is from 2015, so maybe consider a time window between midnight and dawn.

Good luck!
