Considered by many as one of the best astronomical events of the year, the Perseids will be visible this August weekend. This spectacular meteor shower will grace the skies months after its “sisters” \u2013 the Lyrids<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and the Eta Aquarids<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 did the same.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Perseids are known worldwide for providing a spectacular show to nighttime sky observers, and this year will be no exception. “If you’re going to watch any meteor shower this year, this is the one to see,” said Bill Cooke<\/strong>, the director of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office, to Business Insider<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meteor showers, commonly known as “shooting stars” in Spain, are composed of bits of rock, ice, and dust<\/strong> that break away from comets or asteroids<\/a> orbiting the Solar System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Earth moves around the Sun, it intersects with clouds of space dust<\/strong> containing these particles, which then enter Earth’s atmosphere and disintegrate due to friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
