///@sebastianvoltmer: The Perseid meteor shower occurs as the Earth passes through the orbit of the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. From 11-13th August this year, the activity reaches its peak, as the Earth travels through the dustiest, densest part of the comet's path. There will be an estimated 60-100 meteors per hour!*
For most people around the world, the best time to tune in is after midnight, and before dawn.
*ZHR (Zenithal Hourly Rate)
In fact you can "only" see around 10 per hour. You’re welcome joining my stream on TikTok.
