🌠 Perseids Meteor Shower 2025 – Watch the Skies! 🌠
📅 Running from Thursday 17th July to Sunday, 24th August 2025
⏰ Best viewing time: Midnight to early dawn (1am–4am ideally)
It will reach its peak on the 12th and 13th of August
📍 Visible across the UK – just find a dark, open sky!
Join stargazers across the North East (and beyond) as the Perseids Meteor Shower lights up our skies once again! Known as one of the brightest and most active meteor showers of the year, the Perseids can produce up to 100 shooting stars an hour during its peak.
✨ WHAT TO EXPECT:
The Perseids occur when Earth passes through a trail of cosmic dust left by Comet Swift-Tuttle. These tiny particles hit our atmosphere and burn up, creating spectacular streaks of light across the night sky – perfect for kids, families, and anyone who loves a magical night under the stars.
🔭 TOP TIPS FOR VIEWING:
Look Northeast: The meteors will radiate from the Perseus constellation
Get Away From City Lights: Darker locations = better views!
Let Your Eyes Adjust: It takes around 20 minutes for your night vision to kick in
No Equipment Needed: Just your eyes, a comfy blanket, and patience
Best Nights to Watch: Peak activity expected around 20th to 22nd August
