Perseidele: prognozele pentru 2026 anunță până la 100 de meteori pe oră / Joi, în jurul orei 06:00, e momentul de maximă vizibilitate

Two astronomical events, a solar eclipse and the Perseid meteor shower, will occur close together, with the peak of the Perseids expected on August 13, 2026. The Perseids, named after the constellation Perseus, are known for their bright meteors and are linked to particles from a comet. Observers can expect up to 100 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, with the best viewing time after midnight. The new moon on August 12 will enhance visibility, and dark locations away from city lights are recommended for optimal observation. No special equipment is needed, but comfortable seating and warm clothing are advised.
