SHOWER PEAK DATES: 2024: Peak is Overnight from 11th August into 12th August Best viewed after midnight but will be visible before too, and all dates around the peak will have excellent shooting star numbers! Enjoy!
This morning I saw a very bright light in the southeast sky. It got brighter and brighter and I thought it was landing lights of an airplane coming toward me as it wasn't moving across the sky. It got brighter until it just blinked out, disappeared. It must have been one of these meteors you are talking about. I didn't know of this Perseid shower beforehand.
There should be a few but not as many now. Hopefully you get lucky and spot some. If not, there is always next year, or one of the other showers throughout the year (like the Dracanids in October) :)
I've just spent 15 minutes in a recliner in the garden, I saw lights moving across the sky but they had no tails and remained constant. They were travelling independently, at different times and places, but mostly from West to East. I saw about seven of these, all the same. What were these?
If they were witnessed in the blick of the eye than yes they were meteor but if you saw some stars like objects moving on the sky for quiet a while than I assume they were satellite or something
Thanks very much! The rover is the Lego Perseverance Rover, ordered directly from the Lego website. It was a lot of fun to build, took about 5 and a half hours if I remember correctly! (sorry for the late reply on this one!)
Well I can’t see this beautiful masterpiece bc I live in the uk and my parents won’t let me go outside and lay down to see. I have to sleep aswell and I really wish I could see it but unfortunately I can’t 😭
Dont be sad, your parents probably don’t realise how important it is to you as they feel that they wouldn’t have the time or energy maybe to stay up and lock up after you come indoors. Depending how old you are, its sometimes a bit selfish of adults that they don’t attach as much importance to things like that they consider as unimportant to them, even to each other sometimes, thats just the way life is, there is not much justice in the world im afraid, do you have a window you can look out of to maybe see anything in the sky ? if you can find some video or pictures of them that somebody else managed to capture, maybe you could show mum or dad and get them to see how interested in it you are. Good luck !
Ugh, on the same night both peak Perseid and possible Aurora but the sky is completely overcast. I live like 30 minutes away from some Bortle class three skies too.

Going to try tonight, for the first time...fingers crossed! Photographed the milky way many times but never a meteor shower.
Best of luck, hope you enjoy it and see some!
@@ChrisPattisonCosmo Thanks…time will tell!
@@JasonLorette how did it go?
@@bluemoo7611 bust…halfway to the location I was going too my check engine light came on in my car, so I unfortunately went back home. 😢📸
@@JasonLorettenooo. Sorry to hear that. Glad the meteors be visible for the next few days

24.0813, saw 13 this morning between 1245 and 145Am PDT on the Cali Central Coast.
Very well explained. Very helpful to me anyway. Thank you. I hope to try tonight. Although it’s 8-21-24 so may not get a chance. Here’s to hoping.
Oh crud, it’s cloudy here in West Des Moines, Iowa right now. I’ll have to try & check later.
