Perseid meteor shower 12th peak 5:19 on August 10

The Perseid Meteor Shower, one of the three major meteor showers known as the summer astronomical show, peaked on the night of the 12th, and the National Astronomical Observatory has a maximum of about 30 shooting stars per hour if conditions are good. I expect to be able to observe.

The "Perseid meteor shower" observed at this time of year every August is counted as one of the "three major meteor showers", and according to the National Astronomical Observatory, it will increase from about 9 pm on the 12th, and 10 pm It is predicted to peak around this time.

This means that because the moon is bright, the observation conditions are not as good as the average year, but if it is sunny, up to 30 shooting stars can be observed with the naked eye per hour.

The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan says that it is easier to observe by observing a wide area with the naked eye without using a telescope or binoculars in a place where there are as few street lights and other city lights as possible.
