How to see the spectacular Perseid meteor shower

What this episode covers

A big cosmic show is coming this weekend, and conditions should be good to see it from Oregon. The annual Perseid meteor shower, one of the most reliably spectacular astronomical events of the year, will be peaking on Aug. 12 and 13, bringing beautiful streaking meteors to the night sky. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we talk all about how, when and where to see the Perseids, and explain what exactly it is you’ll be looking at. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What are the Perseids? Why this year is a particularly good year to watch the meteor shower. Some of the best dark sky locations to watch the show. Star parties are a great way to watch the meteor shower with likeminded people, and learn a little more about the cosmos.
