Find the dark and hoard your wishes, my babies — the annual Perseid meteor shower is upon us. Among the finest sky shows in our solar system, the Perseids will be visible throughout the US and most of the Northern Hemisphere in the days to come.
According to NASA, the Perseids meteor shower is considered the best meteor shower of the year. In 2025, it's set to be active from around July 17 to Aug. 23. When observed under dark-sky conditions, stargazers can expect to see meteors traveling at a velocity of about 37 miles per second.
