Persids meteor shower – One of the best shows in the sky is considered – set on the summit next week. But the peak for shooting fireball through the night sky coincides with a bright moon this year which is expected to negatively affect visibility for the curious audiences.
The Perseids Summit in 2025 is 12–13 August, especially for those in North America, especially next Wednesday. At that time, according to the American Metor Society, the moon will be filled 84%.
“In 2025, Vanning Gibous Moon will seriously compromise this shower at the time of maximum activity,” organization They say“Such conditions will reduce activity by at least 75 percent as only bright meteors will appear.”
This year viewers can expect to look between 10-20 perceeeids every hour, as unlike 50 perseids per hour in dark conditions, They say,
“The strength of each perceid performance varies year -head -year, mainly due to lunar conditions,” Write Robert Lunsford with the American Metor Society. “If a bright moon is above the horizon during the night of maximum activity, the performance will decrease. Most purse meters are unconscious and it will be difficult to see the bright moonlight.”
Perseids meteor shower has been going on for several weeks. It started in mid -July and will continue till 23 August.
St. Paul, a planetarium program coordinator at a museum in Minnesota, is advising people to go out instead of a week or go out of the peak when the moon is not so bright.
The Associated Press reported that Ferrids “is an incredible meteorous shower,” the Bell Museum’s Thhadius Lacorusier told the Associated Press.
NASA says that in the Northern Hemisphere, before coming up the sun, is the best time to get up early in the morning. However, the meteor can sometimes be seen as 10 pm
When looking at Persids, they come from the constellation Persus, which is why this meteor is the name of the shower. But the meteor does not originate from the constellation; They are space debris CommentAccording to NASA and American meteor society, this debris interacts with the Earth’s atmosphere, disintegrating and colored in the sky.
NASA says, “Space debris fragments that interact with our environment, come from comet 109P/Swift-Tatal to make purseids,” who visited the internal solar system in 1992 last time, says NASA.
During the peak, next Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the Earth Comet will pass closer to the core orbit of 109p/Swift-Tatal, writing Lunsford.
“To successfully look at the piercing, it is suggested that you see from a safe rural area that is as dark as possible,” they say. “The more stars you can see, the more meteor will appear.”
