When night falls during this time, eyes are drawn to the night sky to see the annual Perseid Meteor Shower. This is usually considered one of the best meteor showers of the year, sometimes featuring numerous meteors.

The best meteor shower of 2025 will feature hundreds of meteors per hour, but you'll want to catch it sooner rather than later.

The Perseids are the most popular show of shooting stars, as they peak on warm summer nights as seen from the northern hemisphere. The meteor shower became active on July 17 and lasts until Aug. 23.
