Perseid meteor shower 2025: How and when to see summer’s sky show
The 2025 Perseid meteor shower begins July 17 and climaxes overnight August 12–13, making it a highlight of summer stargazing, with up to 150 meteors per hour. A bright full moon may affect visibility, so find a dark, rural location and face northeast for the best experience. Viewers should start observing around 11 pm local time when the rates of shooting stars increase.
