The Perseids meteor shower will peak on the night of August 12-13, 2026, offering excellent visibility conditions in Romania due to the New Moon. This annual event occurs from July 17 to August 24, with the best viewing times after midnight. Observers can expect up to 100 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, although actual rates may be lower in light-polluted areas. The meteors originate from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, and the event coincides with a total solar eclipse, making it a unique astronomical experience.
