Perseids 2024: Best Show in Years | Boston News

Get ready for the Perseids — this year’s meteor shower is shaping up to be one of the best ever, with peak viewing under a new moon, meaning no moonlight interference and potentially 50 to 100 meteors per hour in prime spots. Caused by Earth slicing through debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle (which won’t return until 2125), these summer fireballs are bright, reliable, and perfect for stargazers who don’t mind the heat. Just head out after dark, away from city lights, let your eyes adjust, and watch the sky light up — it’s been dazzling humanity for over 2,000 years.
