What are perseids?

• Every July and August the earth passes through debris left by the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle,
named for astronomers Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle who discovered it during the summer of 1862.
• The bits of debris burn up when they interact with the earth’s atmosphere, creating the fiery Perseid meteors (aka shooting stars) we see from the ground.
• The Perseids get their name from the constellation Perseus which is the shower’s “radiant,” the celestial spot where meteors appear to come from.
Please use red light mode on your head torches while star gazing.
