The best time to view a meteorite shower depends on the specific meteor shower and your location. Generally, it is best to look toward the constellation from which the meteor shower originates. You can check online for specific information about the meteor shower schedule and position in the sky during its peak.
The next time a meteor shower and eclipse occur on the same day will be on October 8, 2131. This event is rare because meteor showers and eclipses are separate celestial phenomena that do not frequently align on the same day.
The Perseids meteor shower is also known as the "Tears of St. Lawrence." This name is derived from the feast day of St. Lawrence, which falls on August 10, around the time the meteor shower peaks. The Perseids are known for their bright meteors and are one of the most popular meteor showers to observe each year.
The Gemenid meteor shower has already started, and will probably last throughout the weekend. You will have the best viewing from after 10PM through about 4 AM each night.
