About the Event

The Perseid meteor shower will reach its maximum rate of activity on Thursday, 12th August 2021. Shooting stars associated with the shower are expected to be visible each night from 16th July to 23rd August. There will be no moonlight to ruin the show – a non-intrusive waxing crescent phase will beautify the western sky at nightfall, but will set by early-to-mid evening. That guarantees a dark sky for this year’s Perseids. Full details of the protocols to be followed will be issued nearer the time. In the meantime, let’s hope for clear skies!
