Perseide 2026: punctul maxim este în noaptea de 12 spre 13 august. Cum admirăm ploaia de stele din marile orașe

The Perseids meteor shower will peak on the night of August 12-13, 2026, with favorable viewing conditions due to the new moon. Observers can see meteors from urban areas, but light pollution may hinder visibility. For optimal viewing, it's best to find a dark location with a wide view of the sky. The meteor shower is active from July 17 to August 24, with the highest rates expected near the peak. Observers should allow their eyes to adjust to the darkness and avoid bright screens. The Perseids are caused by debris from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, and meteors can be seen in various parts of the sky.
