USA: The Perseid meteor shower, which annually graces the heavens between July 14 and September 1, is one of the most well-liked spectacles for astronomers. Because of their apparent origin, which lies within the constellation of Perseus, the meteors are known as Perseids.

The Perseid meteor shower will take place this year on August 12 and 13. Aside from the full moon in August, which will make it difficult to see meteors due to the moon's bright light, the show would otherwise be ideal timing for Astrophiles hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the best known meteor showers visible from Earth.

The moon is one of the least reflective objects in the solar system and relatively dim compared to other celestial bodies, but from Earth it appears bright because of its proximity. The moon will be in opposition to the sun on August 11 at 9:35 p.m., overshadowing the eagerly awaited "shooting stars" that are the Perseid meteor shower.

One of the last supermoons of the year will occur in August with the Sturgeon moon, which will be brighter than a "typical" full moon. Supermoons are larger than average because of their proximity to the earth.
The Comet Swift-Tittle, which passed by Earth in 1992, left behind ice and rock fragments that are what are known as the Perseids. One of the biggest objects to have passed Earth multiple times is Swift-Tittle, which orbits the sun in 133 years. Till the year 2125, it won't return to Earth.

The Perseids may be overshadowed by the moon this August, but after the moon starts to wane, there may be a chance to catch a glimpse of them because the "shooting stars" won't start to disappear until the 21st and 22nd of August and will be gone entirely by September 1.
