Astronomy lovers, to your sun loungers! The night of August 12 to 13 promises to be particularly favorable for the observation of shooting stars, the date on which the number of celestial flashes should reach its peak.
Unlike the 2022 vintage when the Moon – due to its very strong luminosity – had only given way to the brightest shooting stars, this year, the serene star will not rise until around 2 a.m. and will remain low, offering observers an almost completely dark sky and the possibility of seeing dozens of light trails per hour.
