Shower watchers stay awake! Always keep an eye up above as there is a peak of the famous meteor shower, to fascinate and to ease the crave of your desire.
Between August 10 – 14 2011 the Philippines will be going to experience a meteor shower commonly known as the Perseid meteor shower. PAGASA said that this kind of meteor shower is considered among the “best reliable” and can usually be seen on the precise date written above.
The meteor shower can be seen clearly on the late night of August 12 until dawn on the next day and there must be the absence of moonlight and light pollution in order for the Perseid meteor to be seen the easiest way.
The Perseid meteor shower is an annual meteor shower that can be visible for weeks in the late summer sky but it depends upon the weather condition and the location. The said meteor shower was named after the constellation Perseus located at the roughly the same point of the night sky where the perseid meteor shower appears to originate from. This naming convention is useful but not that exact.
According to PAGASA the best shower that will definitely tantalize our eyes will cost likely show tens or even hundreds of meteors per minute, but typically it’s up to 50 meteors per hour.
The Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2000 years ago, with the later information about this meteor shower from the Far East. The term “Perseid” refers to the star constellation of Perseus.
