Storms of meteors
Every year, the Earth passes through its orbit around the sun, creating an explosion of tiny meteors to explode into space. They appear virtually everywhere in the skies. Some showers appear more impressive than other. Nighttime is often the best time to watch.
Perseids are the most beautiful and powerful meteor shower of the year. This is due to the fact that Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle is to blame. It will be visible from Northern Hemisphere. But, because the Southern Hemisphere is home to some of the most spectacular fireballs, it is logical to also be able to observe the phenomenon from that region.
Every year there are four major meteor showers. The Quadrantid Number one is renowned for its brief but intense maximum. The other is the Lyrid. It’s famous for the odd surges it produces. The Geminid is also famous for its attractive appearance.
