CTOnews.com, August 12 (Xinhua)-- the Perseid meteor shower, the most interesting sky in August, will reach its maximum in the early hours of the 13th, when it has the largest number of meteors. The maximum number of meteors per hour in this meteor shower is expected to reach 100.

Coincidentally, today coincides with the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. In other words, this year's third largest "supermoon" will also be seen with you at the same time! As long as the weather is fine, this gorgeous full moon + super meteor shower can be enjoyed all over the country.

Simply put, weather permitting, after 21:00 in the evening of August 12 and 13, the radiant point of the Perseid meteor shower will rise from the northeast and can be observed throughout the night. Of course, under normal circumstances, moonlight will also adversely affect the observation, so the closer it is to the 13th day before dawn, the better the time. At present, CCTV has started live broadcast.

According to public information, the active period of the Perseid meteor shower lasts from mid-July to early September, and the meteor burst occurs from August 12 to 13.

CTOnews.com learned that the Perseid meteor shower and the annual quadrant meteor shower in January and the Geminids meteor shower in December are known as the three major meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere. They can basically reach 100 or more meteors per hour during the outbreak period.

If you are lucky enough, you can also see fire meteors in the sky, as well as red and light green color meteors.
