Everything you need to know about the Perseids meteor shower in 2025, from when it's taking place to how to watch it.

The nighttime skies will be filled with shooting stars in the coming weeks due to the annual Perseid meteor shower.

In late July, the meteors radiate near the area of Alpha Capricorni, a double star visible to the naked eye. This area of the sky rises in the east at about 8 p.m. Local Daylight Time, but very little activity can be seen at this time because many of the meteors are blocked by the horizon.
