Meteor Shower 2024 Tonight

Meteor Shower 2024 Tonight. The infamous perseid meteor shower is active from july 17 to august 24, and on august 12, you can see up to 100 meteors per hour! 12, the perseid meteor shower will hit its peak, becoming visible in night skies all across the northern hemisphere — no telescope required.

As comets get close to the sun, they heat up and pieces break off. The perseids usually put on a good show and this year may produce 50 to 75 meteors per hour at a dark site.
