[Wswss] Perseids Meteor Shower

[Tom D.]

Greetings...

Active from July 13th to August 26th, 2018

The Perseids are the most popular meteor shower as they peak on warm August nights as seen from the
northern hemisphere. The Perseids are active from July 13 to August 26. They reach a strong maximum on
August 12 or 13, depending on the year. Normal rates seen from rural locations range from 50-75 shower
members per hour at maximum.The Persesids are particles released from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle during
its numerous returns to the inner solar system. They are called Perseids since the radiant (the area of
the sky where the meteors seem to originate) is located near the prominent constellation of Perseus the
hero when at maximum activity.

Peak August 11 and 12, with best conditions for meteor scatter expected near dawn both days.

Radiant: 03:12 +57.6° - ZHR: 100 - Velocity: 37 miles/sec (swift - 60km/sec) - Parent Object: 109P/Swift-Tuttle
