When is the best time to watch the Perseid meteor shower in Georgia?
Wmwaugh
The Perseid meteor shower will appears this year from about July 17 to August 24, with a peak at about August 12. The trick is weather. Check your local forcast and look for a clear night. You'll also want to try to locate and commute to a point where there is a minimun of light pollution so you get the best effect. Good luck viewing these little gifts of the Swift-Tuttle comet (109P) as the earth drives through the trail left by this occasional visitor. And do just a bit of homework so you know where the constellation Perseus is. The shower appears to "come out" of that area of the sky. Links to relevant Wikipedia articles are provided.
I actually was visiting someone in commerce GA last weekend (August 14-17) and I saw them. They were usually between the North Star and this other bright star. but they were just little blips of light. They just blinked for a few seconds. Jonas_Girl80

∙ 14y agoThe peak is supposed to be August 12. If you can spare the time, give yourself a little bit of margin: -- Night of August 11-12. -- Night of August 12-13. In general, there's usually a better chance of random meteors after local midnight. But with a shower that's definitely associated with a known comet, you never know ... there could be a tremendous peak any time, that only lasts 30 minutes.

The next major meteor shower in this area will be the Leonid shower and will peak on November 18, 2010 at around midnight. It will be active from Nov. 12 to Nov. 23. Look toward the northeastern sky about 30o above the horizon in the direction of the constellation Leo (therefore the name "Leonid").
When will the next meteor shower be in South-Africa?
The Perseid shower will enhance the background rate of "shooting stars" all during the night of August 11-12, wherever you are. Astronomers have predicted two Perseid peaks, at about 0100 and 0530 GMT on August 12th, corresponding to 2100 and 0130 Eastern Daylight Time (Montreal, Toronto, New York, etc.). Neither of these predicted occasions is too useful anywhere in east longitude, on account of the waning gibbous moon and eventual daylight; but there should still be something to watch for at any time during the night of 11 to 12 August.

Are meteor storms dangerous?
Meteor showers are caused by tiny bits of dust or small objects burning up in the atmosphere. Usually they are not dangerous as the item is completely destroyed when it burns up. Sometimes larger objects pass through and some objects reach the surface of Earth. It would take something very large to do any real damage, so a standard meteor shower is not dangerous. They are something to go out and watch and enjoy.
Where's the best place to watch the Perseid meteor shower in Kansas?
Outdoors. Away from city lights. At night. The previous answer does not answer the question. I live in Wichita KS. I don't know where the absolute best place is as I am looking for the same place. However, north of any city is a good place to start. Most meteor showers in our latitude come from the north, so any time you are looking for one, having city lights in the opposite direction is a good start. I usually go to a dirt road about 3 miles east of camp hawk disc golf course in Newton KS. It is dark, and no one drives down that road until about 5 am, so plenty of good meteor watchin times. Unless you mind cows. That's where I'll be for the draconids shower this year. Hopefully it will be a good one. Hope you see this answer and it helps you. Don
