Perseid Meteor Shower Peak This Weekend | Orlando News

Don’t miss the Perseid meteor shower’s peak this weekend—August 12th into the early morning of the 13th—with a new moon making for pitch-black skies and dazzling shooting stars. Caused by Earth slicing through debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, these meteors light up best before dawn near the east-northeast horizon. No gear needed—just find a dark spot away from city lights. While you can catch a few stragglers on the 14th, don’t wait past the main window. After that, mark your calendar for the Orionids, peaking October 23rd, running from October 2nd to November 12th.
