Perseids & Eclipse Sky Show | Pittsburgh News

Don’t miss the Perseid meteor shower’s peak this week—Thursday at 10:53 AM ET might be tough (it’s daytime!), but Wednesday night into Thursday morning still delivers. Add in a solar eclipse during a new moon, and you’ve got a rare combo that cuts through moonlight for clearer views. These ancient meteors, born from the constellation Perseus, can blaze with fiery trails—up to 50 per hour in the dark countryside, or 25 in the city. Even as the Perseids wind down by August 24th, keep your eyes on the sky: Orionids, Taurids, Leonids, Geminids, and Ursids are all coming up. Just head away from lights, let your eyes adjust, and scan wide—you’re bound to catch some cosmic fireworks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
