While we await the peak of the Perseids, the shooting stars more beautiful than the year (which are already here anyway), let’s prepare for Persaid epsilonwhich will be at most next August 9th. The swarm will be at most together with that of Piscis Austrinidimultiplying the chances of capturing meteors in heaven. Not to be missed!
As the UAI explains, August is not just Perseid: in fact Around 9–10 August The monitor of the swarm are also added to the panorama epsilon-perseidfast and sometimes bright meteors, which contribute to making the sky even richer in this period, whose radiant, or the point from which it seems that the meteors start, always lies in the constellation of Perseus.
Around 10 August, in the legendary Night of San Lorenzowe can also observe the Piscis Austrinidi (at most already from the end of July), a minor but interesting swarm, which can produce quick and bright meteors, especially with dark and transparent skies, whose radiant is placed in the constellation of the Southern fish (on the map the Heaven of 10 August 2025 to about 1.00).
As we know, on August 9 our satellite will be in the flood phase, we will admire the splendid Luna della Storionebut fortunately the peak of the stars is expected when the star is not at most splendor. So we shouldn’t have problems – time permitting – to observe at least some falling star.
Let’s prepare the desires!
