Catch the Perseid Meteor Shower | Detroit News

Don’t miss the Perseid meteor shower peaking Wednesday night into Thursday—thanks to a new moon, skies are pitch black and perfect for viewing. NASA says this could be the best show of the year, with 50 to 100 shooting stars per hour, blazing fast and bright, sometimes turning into dazzling fireballs. Michigan’s got you covered with six state parks, three dark sky parks, and one sanctuary like Headlands and Lake Hudson—all prime spots. Best bet? Get out before dawn, aim northeast toward Perseus, and let your eyes adjust for 30 minutes. It’s cosmic magic you can witness right from your backyard.
