Don’t Miss Tonight’s Cosmic Spectacle: Meteors, Planet Parade & Aurora Alerts (Aug 26–27, 2025)

The Perseid meteor shower ran July 17–August 23, 2025, but its peak was washed out by the nearly full Sturgeon Moon, which NASA estimated reduced meteors by about 75%. Under dark skies, the Perseids would normally yield 40–50 meteors per hour, but this year observers faced about 10–20 per hour or fewer due to moonlight. The Aurigids begin August 28…

The Perseid meteor shower peaked on August 12-13, 2025, and NASA’s Bill Cooke says under moonlit skies observers may see about 10-20 meteors per hour (versus 40-50 per hour under dark skies). By August 17-18, the Moon is a waning crescent, allowing ideal conditions to yield roughly 15-20 Perseids per hour before dawn. The minor kappa Cygnids are active around…

Cosmic Weekend Spectacle: Meteors, Planets, and Aurora Hints Light Up Aug 16–17, 2025

The Perseid meteor shower remains active on August 16–17, even though its peak occurred on August 12–13. The meteors originate from debris of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, an ancient celestial body well over 5 billion years old. Moonlight washes out fainter meteors, but a few bright Perseid fireballs have still been observed. Meteor rates predawn are expected to be around a dozen…

Perseid meteor shower remains active August 14–15, with Moonlight washing out fainter meteors and an expected rate around 10–20 per hour. Auroras could appear on August 14–15 due to solar activity, but forecasters expect only mild geomagnetic activity (Kp 5–6, G1–G2) and no major storm. Venus and Jupiter form a bright dawn pair around August 14–15, with Venus at magnitude…
