Summary
Get ready to stargaze—multiple meteor showers are lighting up the sky this summer, with peak viewing times and moon phases that make for epic sky shows. The Delta Aquariids (July 28–Aug 21) and Cetus (same window, peaking July 29–Aug 2) offer 7–10 meteors per hour under dark skies. Another shower hits Aug 5–20 with 10–15 meteors/hr, though a 22% moon phase dims the view. Then comes the Perseids—the real star—with up to 100 meteors/hr peaking Sept 12–13, but watch out: a 42% moon will interfere. Save the best for next year: the Perseids in August 2026 will be spectacular under just a 12% moon phase. Don’t miss it.
