phetphet Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Been possible to see them for a week or so, and will continue for a few days more. But you are correct that tonight is the night they peak. Sat out a few nights ago to watch and only saw one. A big one. Then realised that I could not see the Perseids from where I was as there is a big hill in the way.. I was looking in a different part of the sky. Might try again tonight if not tired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaGlobulin Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Wish it were not cloudy here, but it is. Will wait until next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The peak has passed, but you should still be able to see them for a few more nights. Look north east low in the sky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
