In this summer's Perseid meteor shower, a rare full moon might challenge the spectacular event for attention with one of the largest, clearest meteor showers of the year.
This Friday and Saturday are expected to be the peak days for the Perseids, according to NASA. The maximum number of shooting stars is expected to be 50-100 per hour at its peak.
It has been determined that the Perseid meteor shower will peak in mid-August this year, making it one of the best meteor showers of the year, according to NASA.
NASA explained in another post about the event that Perseid meteors often leave long 'wakes' of light and color behind them while streaking through the atmosphere.
With about 50 to 100 meteors per hour seen, the Perseids are one of the most abundant meteor showers. During summer, they occur with warm nighttime temperatures, making them comfortable for sky-watchers.'
The situation is complicated, however. The full moon on Thursday threatens to dim the light of the event. The American Meteor Society's Robert Lunsford explained, in an interview with Minneapolis NBC affiliate KING, that the Perseid meteor shower will be in full swing despite the full moon's timing.
The show will be a bit muted, but you'll still be able to see enough activity even if you face away from the moon,” said Lunsford.
The shower's best visibility will occur when Perseus, the constellation from which the meteors appear to originate, is higher in the sky than the horizon so that stargazers can catch a glimpse of the show. As a result, you'll be able to catch the worm if you're early!
According to the American Meteor Society, the maximum shower on Aug. 12 occurs at 01:00 Universal Time (which is 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT). The best time to watch Perseus is in the dark early hours of Aug. 13 because he will be so close to the horizon at the time.
Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle leaves behind debris that causes this annual meteor shower. According to AMS, the comet had an orbit of 133 and last entered the inner solar system in 1992.
'We still encounter debris left behind by this comet on its multiple trips through the solar system, even though it now resides into the outer reaches of the solar system far from Earth,' wrote the American Meteor Society in an article last week.
Even if you miss the peak of the stellar event, there's nothing to worry about. It shouldn't be too difficult to observe some meteors in the days following the event - just remember to be patient.
Know that meteor showers typically have bursts of activity interspersed with lulls,' EarthSky.org warns. For the best chance of seeing the show, spend several hours watching the shower, in a dark location, several times over several days.
