The Perseid Meteor Shower

One of the most celebrated of all the celestial fireworks, the Perseid Meteor Shower every year puts on a spectacular light show from the edge of space.

Earth will pass through the shower from 17th of July until the 24th of August, with peak activity between August 12th and 13th.
