Perseids 2022. The time of shooting stars begins

The period when the Perseids are best observed is about to begin. The next month will be marked by shooting stars. It is worth looking up to the sky to see this incredibly attractive phenomenon.

The Perseids are a phenomenon that we like to watch every year. Shooting stars can delight even those who are not particularly interested in astronomy. The coming period will be great for lovers of night sky observations. In 2022, we will be able to observe Perseids from July 17.

Shooting stars are an unusual sight. According to superstitions, they have some special properties. It is said that a dream conceived while observing shooting stars will come true. However, even if someone does not believe it, he should look at the sky. The effect of burning celestial bodies is simply phenomenal and it is worth seeing it with your own eyes at least once.

When is the night of shooting stars in 2022?

This year, we will be able to watch Perseids between July 17 and August 24. Their maximum intensity should fall on the night of August 12-13, but this does not mean that you should not look for them earlier. The more that on August 12 we will observe the full moon. Its light can make it difficult to see the sky.

Apart from the lack of a moon, of course, the cloudless sky is also important. Clouds in the sky can make it completely difficult to observe the Perseids. In addition, it’s good to choose the right time. It is said that shooting stars are best looked for in the sky in the second half of the night.
