When To Watch?

During the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, on Monday, August 12, the moon will be in its first quarter and 50% illuminated. The best time to catch the meteors will be from around midnight until dawn. The shower gradually intensifies as the night progresses, with the most spectacular display just before dawn. The meteors are known for their vibrant colours and persistent trails, making the Perseid shower a favourite for Northern Hemisphere observers.

What To Expect?

The annual Perseid meteor shower happens when Earth moves through a trail of debris left by the comet Swift-Tuttle, which passes by our home planet approximately every 133 years. The last time it entered the inner Solar System was in 1992. The debris left by this comet can create fireballs, which are exceptionally bright meteors that enhance the spectacle.

How To Watch?

For the best viewing experience, find a dark sky site away from city lights. Allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness and look overhead, but avoid staring directly at the moon. The further you are from artificial lights, the better your chances of seeing more meteors. And your absolute best bet to see this stunning meteor shower would be to head to the darkest spot in the UAE!

Why You Shouldn’t Miss It

Despite the Perseids weakening slightly each year, this year’s show promises many bright streaks of light, making it a perfect night for anyone with clear skies. The combination of colourful meteors and persistent trails makes the Perseid meteor shower one of the most beloved in the Northern Hemisphere.

So grab a blanket, find a dark spot, and enjoy one of nature’s most dazzling displays!
