Perseidele, cea mai spectaculoasă ploaie de meteori a verii

The Perseids are a prominent meteor shower occurring annually when Earth passes through debris from comet Swift-Tuttle. This year, the peak visibility is expected around August 12-13, with optimal conditions in 2026 due to a new moon. Observers can see up to 150 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, particularly in dark areas away from city lights. Events for stargazing are organized in Romania, including workshops that educate participants about constellations and observation techniques.
