Perseidele 2026, fenomenul astronomic spectaculos al verii. La ce oră se poate vedea cel mai bine „ploaia de stele”

The Perseids meteor shower will peak on the night of August 12-13, 2026, with optimal viewing conditions due to a new moon. Observers in Romania should look for meteors after midnight until dawn, ideally from dark areas away from city lights. The maximum activity is expected around 6 AM local time, with a potential visibility of up to 100 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. This year, the event coincides with a partial solar eclipse, making it a unique astronomical occasion.
