In this 30 second exposure photograph, a meteor streaks across the sky during the annual Perseid<\/a> and Alpha Capricornids meteor showers, Sunday, Aug. 3, 2025, in Spruce Knob, West Virginia.<\/p>\n

The Perseids meteor shower, which peaks in mid-August, is considered the best of the year. With swift and bright meteors, Perseids frequently leave long \u201cwakes\u201d of light and color behind them as they streak through Earth\u2019s atmosphere. The Perseids are one of the most plentiful showers with about 50 to 100 meteors seen per hour.<\/p>\n

This year, visibility<\/a> will be hampered by an 84%-full Moon on the peak night. A few bright meteors may still be seen in the pre-dawn hours, but viewing conditions are not ideal.<\/p>\n
