Perseid Meteor Shower Peak: Up to 60 Meteors Per Hour Expected, but Moon May Obstruct View
The Perseid meteor shower will peak on the night of August 12-13, 2025, with up to 60 meteors potentially visible per hour in southwestern Germany under clear skies, though a nearly full moon will lessen visibility. The meteors originate from the debris of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, which orbits the sun every 133 years.

- What is the origin of the Perseid meteor shower, and how frequently does the parent comet return to our region?
- The Perseids originate from the debris trail of Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, which Earth crosses annually from late July to late August. These particles, traveling at speeds of 30-35 kilometers per second, burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, creating the visible streaks of light. The comet itself returns to our region only every 133 years.
- How will the phase of the moon during the 2025 Perseid meteor shower peak affect viewing conditions, and how might this compare to future events?
- The near full moon during the 2025 Perseid peak will significantly impact viewing conditions, reducing the number of visible meteors compared to years with a new moon. Future Perseid displays will offer better viewing opportunities when the moon is less bright.
- What is the peak time and predicted meteor count for the 2025 Perseid meteor shower, and what weather conditions are expected in southwestern Germany?
- The Perseid meteor shower will peak on the night of August 12-13, 2025, with up to 60 meteors visible per hour under ideal conditions. Favorable weather is predicted in southwestern Germany, with clear skies and temperatures around 18°C.
