Perseid Meteor Shower Peaks This Week | Durham News
Don’t miss the dazzling Perseid meteor shower peaking August 12-13—this year’s new moon makes for pitch-black skies perfect for spotting shooting stars. Caused by debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, these cosmic streaks light up as dust burns in our atmosphere. Grab a dark spot like Jordan Lake, dress warmly, and pack bug spray—your best bet is away from city lights. Bonus: catch a minor solar eclipse in Raleigh Aug 12 (1:52–2 PM) and a bigger partial lunar eclipse on Aug 27. Skywatching at its finest.
