The sturgeon moon is set to light up Michigan skies in early August 2025, as the Perseid meteor shower peaks. Here's what to know.
Astronomers forecast the shower's peak activity for the nights of August 12 and 13. Notable viewing spots include the Lluc Sanctuary and the Torrent de Pareis area.
North York Moors National Park’s Sutton Bank Star Hub, near Helmsley, is offering prime spots from which to view the Perseids.
Eagle-eyed sky watchers will be able to catch Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus in the sky at the same time.
Meteor showers arise when the Earth passes through streams of debris left in the wake of comets and asteroids and "shooting stars" are seen when bits of the debris collide
