all right
you
every year earth passes through the
orbital path of the comet swift-tuttle
debris from the comet collected along
this path and as Earth goes through it
the debris falls to the earth which is
seen to earth as a barrage of shooting
stars or a meteor shower it is known as
the Perseid meteor shower as it appears
to originate from the same point in the
sky with the constellation of Perseus
the shower is visible from mid-july to
late August with a peak normally between
the 11th to the 13th of August while
rates of shooting stars are a steady low
for a lot of the period during the peak
you can expect to see up to 100 meteors
an hour in the night sky the spectacle
is best seen in the northern hemisphere
somewhere away from light pollution to
watch it you should pick a clear night
and lie on your back looking straight up
giving your eyes 30 minutes or so to
adjust to the darkness

the Perseid meteor shower leave a
