The Perseid Meteor Shower Reaches its Peak

Article

Stargazers rejoice! The annual Perseid meteor shower is upon us. Though the annual spectacle began in mid-July, Monday night into Tuesday marked the shower’s peak as Earth passes through debris left behind by the Comet Swift-Tuttle. The Comet Swift-Tuttle was last seen in 1992. It’s one of the largest objects to have repeatedly crossed paths with Earth, measuring approximately 16 miles across and flying through space at approximately 36 miles per second. That’s 150 times the speed of sound! Though we’re not scheduled to see the comet again until 2126, we’re reminded of our celestial guest each year as we pass through its trail of dust and debris, which creates the Perseid meteor shower.
