Finland will be able to see the Perseid meteor shower

During the night and early morning of Friday and Saturday, the phenomenon will be particularly evident over Finland.

On Friday night and Saturday morning, Finland will be able to observe the Perseid meteor shower, an annual celestial event that can produce up to 70 shooting stars per hour.

There is a good weather forecast for the weekend, with clear skies between Friday and Saturday night. You should head out into the fields as soon as the sun sets,' advised Tampere Astronomical Society vice-president Kari A. Kure.

In the early hours of the morning, when the skies are still dark, you can catch a glimpse of the Perseids between 1 am and 2 am. It is possible that the dimmest of shooting stars won't be visible this weekend due to the full moon.

Kure said that the brightest meteors are easily visible here in Tampere because there are always a few slightly larger pieces within the meteor shower.

It's excellent timing - during the warm, nights of August - and guaranteed activity make the Perseids one of the most popular meteor showers.

Shooting stars are most visible in the east and northeast, but skygazers should look at any part of the sky. Due to this, it is also recommended to view the meteor shower with your naked eye, rather than using binoculars.

Additionally, shooting stars tend to last only a few seconds, lasting between half a second and a second.'You don't have much time to talk to a friend, because you need to stare straight ahead at the sky. And if you tell your neighbor about the meteor, she won't be able to see anything,' Kure explained.

To avoid light pollution, it is important to get as far away from urban areas as possible. A comet called Swift-Tuttle is responsible for the Perseid meteor shower.

During its orbit around the Sun, Swift-Tuttle leaves crumbs behind. In the Earth's atmosphere, the dust from the comet heats up and causes light streaks known as shooting stars.

Over two thousand years have passed since skygazers observed the Perseid meteor shower. During the shower, the Catholic saint who died in ancient Rome is also known as Saint Laurence's Tears.
