According to NASA, the event is considered the best meteor shower of the year and is also the most popular.
When does the 2025 Perseid meteor shower shower?
The shower begins on Thursday, July 17th, and, according to NASA and the American Meteor Society, a non -profit organization will continue until August 23.

Where and how you can see the Perseids
NASA says that the best time to see the Persodes is early the morning before dawn in the northern hemisphere. Sometimes, however, the meteors can be seen at 10 p.m.
“The Perseids are one of the abundant showers with about 50 to 100 meters per hour,” says NASA. “They appear with a warm night -time weather so that Sky observer can see them comfortably.”
Persodes often let “watch” color and light for a long time when they move through the earth’s atmosphere. NASA notes that they are also known for their fire balls.
“Fire balls are larger explosions of light and colors that can exist longer than an average meteor strip,” says the space agency. “This is due to the fact that fireballs come from larger particles from comet material. Fire balls are also brighter.”
What causes the Meteor shower of the Persoden?
The meteor shoes occurs when the earth leads through an area with space waste that is left by a comet that comes around the sun. Interacting rubble with the earth’s atmosphere and, according to NASA and the American Meteor Society, crumble into colorful lines in the sky.
“The parts of space told with our atmosphere to create the Perseids come from the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle”, which visited the inner solar system in 1992, says NASA.
Swift-Tuttle needs 133 years to circle the sun, said NASA, and in 1865 the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiparelli was the first person to find that this comet was the source of the Persoden.
If you look at the personal, you seem to come from the constellation Perseus, which is why this meteor shower has its name. But as NASA explains, the meteors do not really come from the constellation.
