How and when to enjoy the tears of San Lorenzo, the biggest rain of summer stars
The most important astronomical event is approaching every summer, so we are going to tell you How and when can you see the Perseids of 2025. This is a true show where, in its peak of activity, we can enjoy the arrival of up to 100 meteors per hour. Therefore, we are going to tell you the best dates to be able to see this phenomenon, since although you can see some meteors fall there are still several days until its peak of activity. We will begin by telling you when it is the day of maximum activity, and then we will give you advice to visualize them as well as possible. When to see the Perseids 2025 Perseids are a phenomenon that will remain active between July 17 and August 24. But its moment of maximum activity It will be at dawn from August 12 to 13. That is the date on which this peak of activity will be reached in which we can observe up to 100 meteors per hour. The best time to see the Perseida will be between 22:00 on August 12 and 10:00 the next day, and the highest activity interval is expected to be between 2 and 5 in the morning of August 13, which is when the point from which the meteors seem to approach is at the highest point in the sky. However, This year there are bad news with the moonsince the rain of stars coincides with the full moon phase planned for August 9. The full moon brightness will make it very difficult to see the weakest meteors, so it will subtract spectacularity, although you will continue to see many of them. In addition, you can try to make the observation after the night peak, when the moonlight loses intensity. This is due to the orbital movement of the earth in space. This year it will be after midnight when we begin to guide on the “advance” side. This means that we will be facing the meteorites that come, and any particle in our orbital trajectory will enter the atmosphere at 11-72 km per second and will look like a meteor. How and where to see them Perseids will be able to see anywhere in Spain, both in the Peninsula and in the archipelagos. They can be seen anywhere in the skyso you do not need to look for a concrete orientation. A fleeting star may appear anywhere in the sky and at any time. The only requirement to see them clearly is to go to an elevated area and with a clear skythat is far from a city and its light pollution. The latter will make the sky look darker, improving the visibility of the stars. This year you should try to look when the moon is at its lowest points, since it is in its full phase. In addition, in any of the cases it is always advisable Look at the opposite direction to the moon in heaven. It is not because there is an area where there is more, but because there will be more darkness and it will be easier to see them.
