Perseid Meteor Shower Viewing Guide | Santa Fe News

Catch the Perseid meteor shower peaking early August 13th—no fancy gear needed, just a dark sky, comfy chair, and coffee. The Earth slices through debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, lighting up the night with streaks of cosmic fire. Best views away from city lights, between midnight and 3 AM, looking northeast toward Cassiopeia and Perseus. Top spots in New Mexico: Sandia Crest, Oak Flats, Placitas Open Space, and Valles Caldera (check access rules). Nature’s free fireworks show—don’t miss it.
