When is the Meteor Shower?

Question

When is the Meteor Shower?

Answer 1

It should start around 2 to 3 AM tomorrow morning. The best time for observation would be when the moon sets to cut out some menacing light pollution. You should be looking straight up in the night sky. I myself will be observing the shower tonight. Have fun, and happy observing!

Answer 2

Meteor showers are not short-term events, they can last for days or even weeks.

The Perseid meteor shower occurs between July 17 and August 24, with the peak at 3:04 UTC on Aug 12.  Most meteor showers have peaks that last at least a few nights.

As long as you are at a dark location away from bright lights, and you simply watch the sky (look towards the constellation Perseus, but meteors can be seen over the entire sky) you should see many meteors any night this week.

Answer 3

It's the Persaids on 12 August 2008. It'll start at 2.00 am After that is October 21 at 1.00 am
