PERSEIDS METEOR SHOWER, THE YEAR'S MOST SPECTACULAR METEOR SHOWER


One of the year's best astronomical events will light up the sky for the next few nights.  it's really easy to observe. You don't need telescopes or cameras, just a deckchair, blankets and a cooling drinks to fight the warm night.
The Perseids meteor shower is expected to peak in the early time skies on both 12 and 13 August.
Perseids meteor shower will be seen in the constellation of Perseus (the hero).

  3. A good place would be anywhere with dark skies and a good all-round view of the sky. Hard to find in the city, though somewhere our on Yas/Saadiyat might be OK. Best to head into the desert. Best time should be after midnight.
