Perseidele 2026. Când și unde poate fi urmărită ploaia de meteori

Two spectacular astronomical events are occurring soon, including a solar eclipse and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower on August 13, 2026. The Perseids, named after the constellation Perseus, are known for their bright meteors and have been observed for over two millennia. The best viewing time will be from the night of August 12 to the early morning of August 13, with ideal conditions due to the New Moon. Observers are encouraged to find dark locations away from city lights for optimal viewing, as urban lighting significantly reduces visibility. No special equipment is needed, but comfortable seating and warm clothing are recommended for a better experience.
