The Perseids meteor shower is a popular summertime event produced by the remnants of Comet Swift-Tuttle. The radiant - or apparent direction from which the meteors originate - lies in constellation Perseus — near the North Star of Polaris, but meteors can be seen in any part of the sky. The Perseids are one of the most active meteor showers of the year, producing 50 - 100 meteors per hour, and are known to produce fireballs that leave long, colorful streaks in their wake. This is because the meteors entering Earth’s atmosphere from Comet Swift-Tuttle are larger in size than those from most other meteor showers. While the Perseids can be seen anytime after dark, the best time to see these fireballs are in the early morning hours up until dawn — preferably with little to no moonlight. In 2026, the Perseids will peak during a new moon, meaning excellent viewing conditions! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609c25af0a593c68da5e9b8a/0470f73d-efb2-4bec-a658-af2a20ff4846/PerseidsTrademark.jpg Perseids - Watch the 2026 Perseids Meteor Shower at the Eastern Sierra Observatory!
