Cea mai spectaculoasă „ploaie de stele” va fi nopțile următoare. Perseidele ating apogeul, unde în București se vor vedea pe cer • TIMP LIBER

The Perseid meteor shower is peaking soon, offering a spectacular celestial display. Observers can see meteors from August 11 to 14, with the best viewing after midnight. Ideal locations for viewing are rural areas with clear skies, where up to 100 meteors per hour may be visible. In urban settings, the count drops to 10-20 meteors per hour. The event is linked to comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, and meteors appear to originate from the constellation Perseus.
