Find Perseids with Our Interactive Meteor Sky Map

One of the brightest meteor showers of the year, the Perseids, is active now. It peaks around August 11–13, 2018, with up to 100 meteors in per hour. If the skies are clear, the Persieds can be seen from almost all over the Northern Hemisphere and from some parts of the Southern Hemisphere.

Use our Interactive Meteor Shower Sky Map to see where to look up for shooting stars. A visibility conditions meter tells you the best time of the night to view the shower so you won't have to stay up all night waiting.

On mobiles and tablets, it's now even easier to spot meteor showers. Simply click on the 360 icon and point your screen toward the sky after sunset. Follow the red arrow until you see a circle.
