Perseids Meteor Shower 2024 | When and Where to Watch

The Perseids Meteor Shower is caused when the Earth passes through a stream of debris left by the Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Swift-Tuttle has a 133-year orbital period, but we experience a yearly meteor shower due to variations in the Earth’s orbit and width of the debris stream.

If you love the night sky, you already know what makes the night of August 13th so special – it’s the peak of the Perseids! The Perseids meteor shower peaks every year in mid-August; in 2024, this peak is expected to occur overnight on the 12th. At its peak, you can expect to see up to 150 meteors per hour! This, combined with warm weather in the northern hemisphere, makes it the most popular meteor shower of the year.
