Also, Royal Observatory gave us some even more specific details. The meteor shower it’s supposed to happen in the UK between midnight and 5.30 BST. The Perseids will be observed better in the night time, but people can start looking for it earlier.
Where should the observers look for the Perseids?
That’s another good question that anybody interested in this event can ask. We have the answer for you and we’ll tell you all about it. The meteor shower will come from one point into the sky. If you want to observe it very well you need to look for an open space where you can see the entire sky and nothing is in front of you to block your view. That is very important.
Also, according to the Royal Observatory, the meteors can appear everywhere in the sky because once they break out into the atmosphere, they will go in every possible direction. So you need to be able to see the horizon as much as possible.
You don’t need to use special gear in order to see the meteors, so you don’t have to bring your binoculars or telescopes. Other than that, we hope you’ll enjoy the show.
