Perseid Meteor Shower Viewing Guide | Dover News

Don’t miss the Perseid meteor shower—this year’s viewing is especially dazzling thanks to a new moon cutting out light pollution. Peak action hits between 2 AM and 4:30 AM when Earth slices through Comet Swift-Tuttle’s debris trail, delivering fast, bright meteors—including fireballs. No gear needed: just find a dark spot, let your eyes adjust for 20–30 minutes, and scan wide across the sky. Comfortable seating and patience are your best tools. With clear skies and minimal moonlight, you could see dozens of shooting stars per hour—make it a night to remember.
