It is a spectacle that delights astronomy enthusiasts, or those simply curious regarding nature. This weekend, a shower of Perseid shooting stars will be visible in the sky. There will be up to 100 meteors per hour visible in the night from Saturday to Sunday. This show is worth seeing. But to observe it, it is useful to follow some tips.
From tonight, you will be able to admire shooting stars above your head. If you really want to enjoy the show, you can join observation groups that are set up all over Belgium.
But if you want to admire these shooting stars from your home, choose the moment well. According to astronomers Margaret Campbell-Brown and Peter Brown, of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, it is on August 12, around 9 p.m. in Belgium, that the cloud of dust will be the densest.
Other important details: light pollution and observation site. The best place to have good visibility is away from light pollution. It is easier to distinguish the stars in the countryside for example, far from any dwelling or illuminated sites. You can also go up high or by the sea. With these tips, you should be able to enjoy the pleasures of the Perseid meteor shower.
