Catching Falling Stars: The Perseid Meteor Shower

One of the best meteor showers of the year is just ahead! In the best conditions, the Perseid Meteor Shower can yield up to 100 shooting stars per hour. These streaks of light across a nightsky still inspire awe in us humans, even when we know exactly where they come from and how they form this beautiful spectacle.

Paul will brief you with everything you'll need to know to make your shooting star hunt successful and tell you all about the origins of this wonderful meteor shower of August.
