How To See The Perseid Meteor Shower 2017 Light Up The Sky This Weekend


If you're a sucker for all beautiful things associated with the sky, you're probably aware of one of the upcoming events, the Perseid meteor shower. This year, the meteor shower will peak on Saturday, August 12, when the Earth passes through the debris released from the Comet Swift-Tuttle. You're probably wondering how you can see the Perseid meteor shower. Of course, all of us earthlings want to get a glimpse of the awesomeness taking place above.

It's an exciting experience that can be quite humbling. It really shows just how much of a small part we are in this huge universe. Don't worry, you won't need binoculars or a telescope, just a wee bit of patience and planning.

Although the meteor shower is expected to peak on August 12, it should also be visible the night before and the night after. It's recommended to be in an open space with ample view of the sky in order to see it. If you won't be able to get outdoors, we're in 2017, so there are ways to have nature unfold right on your computer screen or phone.

Here's Where You Can Watch The Meteor Shower

The Perseid meteor shower is expected to be a little more difficult to see this year because the moon will be three-quarters full. And of course, if you're in a big city, those bright, vibrant lights will also interfere. ActiveJunky.com has recommendations of places to watch the meteor shower in a city for people who are determined to get out and see the celestial action unfold.

As far as streaming the event from the comfort of your couch, NASA TV will have a live feed of the event starting from 10 p.m. EDT on August 12, until 2 a.m. on August 13. This will also stream on NASA's UStream channel. You can even ask questions about the event by tweeting at NASA.

The Perseid shower is expected to convey around 80 meteors per hour. Don't miss out on some annual meteors peppering the sky. You don't have to be an astronomy guru to appreciate the magnificent things the sky is capable of.

Advocates for victims of human trafficking are urging Central Oregon businesses to post information about how to escape in their bathroom stalls before the total solar eclipse later this month. The eclipse, which is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of people to Central Oregon , could result in more cases of people being bought or sold for sex, said Nita Belles, executive director of the anti- trafficking organization In Our Backyard. “We know with the increase in population and the party atmosphere surrounding the eclipse, there will be an increase in human trafficking,” Belles said. Her organization produces “ Freedom Stickers ,” which contain instructions for how to contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline and say, in both English and Spanish, “People are not property. There is freedom from those who are hurting you.” More than 60,000 of these stickers can be found in public bathrooms throughout the country. Belles took the idea for the stickers from “shoe card
