The Perseid meteor shower will peak Tuesday and Wednesday night, offering spectacular views in the night sky for stargazers in Oklahoma.
Best Viewing Times
The best viewing times are after midnight in the northeast sky, where stargazers can locate the constellation Perseus using a star map or a mobile app. Observers are advised to find a location away from artificial light pollution, allow their eyes to adjust for about 15 minutes, and enjoy the show without needing any special equipment.
A new moon on Wednesday night will ensure moonlight won’t interfere, creating optimal conditions for viewing. Additionally, the cloud cover forecast looks favorable for both nights.
