The Perseids meteor shower is here! It’s one of the biggest of the year, and will peak early in the morning on Thursday, August 12, 2021 and Friday, August 13, 2021.
To spot them, find a dark area away from bright lights (yes, that includes your phone), and let your eyes acclimate to the night sky.
But don’t worry –if you can’t get away from lights, join us on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube for a meteor shower livestream hosted by our Marshall Space Flight Center’s Meteoroid Environment Office. Get all the details on our Watch the Skies blog.
