Cum și unde să vezi Perseidele 2026. De ce este numită „cea mai spectaculoasă ploaie de stele” a anului

The Perseid meteor shower is active from mid-July to late August, peaking on August 13. Observers can see up to 100 meteors per hour. The meteors are remnants from the Swift-Tuttle comet, and the best viewing conditions are in dark areas away from city lights. The radiant point is located in the constellation Perseus, which can be identified with the help of star-gazing apps. Optimal viewing times are between midnight and 5:30 AM, especially when the moon is below the horizon.
