## Caption

The annual Perseid #meteorshower is a highlight of the astronomical calendar. Its peak is still a few weeks away, but it began earlier this week. What almost no one else seems to realize is that this year, the normally prolific #Perseids will generally disappoint because the peak rates of “shooting stars” on Aug. 12-13 will occur in a night sky bleached by a near-full moon.

Happily, all is not lost. At the link in our bio, read how and when to watch the #Perseidmeteorshower in 2025. (Photo: Mahmut Serdar Alakus/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
