Summer's favorite
The summer classic, fast and full of fireballs.
The Perseids are the dependable summer favorite, with swift meteors radiating from Perseus and the odd bright fireball thrown in. Rates climb after midnight, and dark skies away from city lights make all the difference.
Peak rate: ~100 / hour
Where it is visible: Northern Hemisphere, best after midnight
Best from the northern hemisphere. The radiant sits high in Perseus at about 58 degrees north, so from Australia, New Zealand or southern South America you see very little of it.
