Today we enter the fascinating world of the Perseids, one of the most spectacular meteor showers that the universe offers us, this year you can prepare to witness an authentic celestial spectacle.


The Perseids, also known as Tears of Saint Lawrence, are an astronomical phenomenon that occurs every year between July 17 and August 24. This 2023, its maximum splendor will take place on August 13, in addition, this year, there is another heavenly factor that will favor us to enjoy this show even more.


August 13 will coincide with a new moon and the absence of lunar light will not interfere with the visibility of the meteors. The Perseids are fragments of the Swift-Tuttle comet, which break off and pass through our atmosphere at high speed, leaving behind a luminous trail in the sky. Image created by me with AI




These fragments, also known as meteoroids, burn up due to friction with the Earth's atmosphere, thus creating the famous shooting stars that amaze us so much. During its peak on August 13, the Perseids will give us an incredible visual spectacle, with an activity rate that can reach up to 100 meteors per hour, under optimal conditions. however, it is important to note that this figure can vary depending on various factors, such as light pollution and weather conditions.


To fully enjoy this astronomical phenomenon, the ideal is to get away from the city lights and find a dark and clear place. Remember that patience is key, since meteors can appear at any time, although the best time to observe the Perseids is before dawn.


Observing the Perseids is a unique experience that connects us with the vast universe that surrounds us. Each of these fleeting flashes reminds us how small we are compared to the vastness of the cosmos. Where every night will offer us the chance to admire a veritable parade of shooting stars, and don't forget to mark the peak of this wonderful meteor shower on August 13 in your calendars.
