The best time to see the Perseid meteor shower in the UK this week
12.08.2022 - 16:39 / dailyrecord.co.uk
After four months of supermoons, stargazers will be treated to another space spectacle - the Perseid meteor shower. This annual event takes place over three days, although this year it is harder to see due to August's supermoon.
The Perseid meteor shower is a cosmic event which is considered one of the highlights of the celestial calendar. Hundreds of shooting stars sparkle across the night sky in the biggest and brightest shower of the year.
Stargazers can catch a glimpse of the meteors on Friday, August 12 and Saturday, August 13. The best time to view will be on Saturday morning between 12am and 5:30am as this is when the shower peaks.

Sadly this is also around the time which the moon will also peak, causing a higher light level. This can disrupt viewing as high light pollution dims the visibility of the meteors, so those in cities could struggle to view the shower.
An extra viewing problem this year is that August’s Sturgeon Moon is a supermoon, which is when the moon is closer to the Earth during it's full phase. This means that not only do the meteors have to compete with a full moon but one that appears larger and brighter.
For the best chance of spotting the stars look towards the north east sky, towards the Perseus constellation as this is where the meteors are thought to originate from. Perseus can be found near Cassiopeia, which appears as a big W in the sky, or Pleiades which is a small star cluster.
In areas with high light pollution, stargazers may struggle to see the Perseids but using telescopes and binoculars can limit your field of vision so may not help. This is a yearly celestial event so do not worry if you miss it,
