Get ready to light up the night sky: the annual Perseid meteor shower reaches its peak between the evening of August 12 and the morning of August 13. In China, stargazers could see up to 100 meteors per hour slashing through the darkness.
Known for its bright fireballs and vivid colors, this year’s Perseids promise spectacular surprises. The maximum zenithal hourly rate—the number of meteors visible from a single point in the sky—may hit around 100, making for a thrilling display of cosmic fireworks.
Whether you’re an astronomy enthusiast, a digital nomad chasing bucket-list sights, or someone looking for a moment of awe, tonight offers the prime window. Find a dark spot away from city lights, lie back, and let the universe dazzle you.
