Book the night of Wednesday 12th to Thursday 13th August 2015 under the stars as the sky will be lively. We will witness one of the most beautiful space phenomena, a meteor shower, when flashes rain like a bet. The meteor shower is also known as the tears of St. Lawrence, as the annual event falls during the time when St. Lawrence rejoices. It will shed "tears" until August 24, but it will be best seen from Wednesday to Thursday.
Observational weather forecast Perseid 2015, of a meteor shower, is ideal as it is supposed to be night from 12 to 13 August 2015 clear. And while there won't be much happening in the sky during the day on Wednesday - maybe there will be some clouds - that's why it will be so much more lively at night when flashes will shoot through the darkness. The sky will be really crowded, so it's wise to make a wish list so that you don't miss a moment. They should be seen on the hour until 75! The Perseid swarm has been active all along from July 17 (and will be until August 24), but he saved his best performance for said night.

Where is the best place to watch? meteor shower? As far as possible away from city lights and other lights. But who is to blame for the many glimpses? Comet Swift-Turtle, which visits our Solar System every 133 years, where he leaves behind a lot of "trash" as a careless hotel guest. These change into flashes upon contact with our atmosphere, which happens when the Earth approaches the track of the mentioned comet during its orbit around the Sun. And why the Perseids and not the Swift-Turtloids? Because they all come from an apparent point located in the constellation Perseus.
