On Thursday night into Friday morning, skywatchers can catch a meteor shower as a number of flares burst in the dark.
When our planet runs into the debris field left behind by icy comets or asteroids, there are meteorite showers. The small particles burn up in the atmosphere. Every year, there is a meteor shower that happens at the same time.
There is a shower every year. They have been active since July 14 and will peak in the middle of August.
The Perseids are one of the most popular showers of the year because of the warm summer nights. The comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle is the source of the Perseids.
If you want to avoid artificial light sources, head out to the countryside and get as far away as you can from them. People in rural areas might be able to just step outside. There are also options for city dwellers.
The dark sky area is maintained by many cities. Robert Lunsford said to contact them and find out where they are.
The best time to view a meteorite shower is before sunrise. After you get to your viewing location, you should wait 30 to 45 minutes. That will make it easier for you to see in the dark. Take in a large portion of the night sky. It is best to have clear nights, high altitudes and times when the moon is not present. The more stars you can see, the more meteorites you can see.
You don't need binoculars or telescopes for the shower.
