Perseid Meteor Shower Peak This August | Topeka News

Don’t miss the Perseid meteor shower—nature’s cosmic fireworks peaking August 12-13, with up to 100 meteors an hour under a new moon’s perfect dark sky. Caused by Earth slicing through debris from the giant Comet Swift-Tuttle (twice the size of the dinosaur-killing asteroid!), these streaks appear to radiate from Perseus but dance across the heavens in every direction. Grab a blanket, head to the darkest spot you can find, and let your peripheral vision catch the dazzling show—your ticket to awe under the stars.
