The Perseids typically deliver 50-100 meteors per hour, and a thin waning crescent Moon rising late in 2028 leaves dark skies for most of the night, making this a great year for the shower.
Best viewing tip
One of the best Perseid years in this window: get away from city lights and watch after dark for a long, dark-sky window.
