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.

The nighttime skies will be filled with shooting stars in the coming weeks due to the annual Perseid meteor shower.

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