It's the time of year when your friends and family who are just a bit more nerdy or maybe outdoors-inclined all start dropping a weird, rarely heard word: Perseids.
- one of the most reliable and spectacular meteor showers - peaks, painting the skies with dozens of shooting stars streaking over us each hour.how simple it is to check out the show for yourselfOf course, this requires that the skies are clear, you're far from ubiquitous light pollution and have a comfortable spot to lie on the ground. For many urbanites, it can actually be quite a production, and for plenty of others it's just so much easier to stay in and binge Netflix.
This year's Perseids are set to peak Monday night and the dedicated Italian astronomer Gian Masi at thewill be livestreaming the spectacle from Rome. Before the sun has even set in New York, you can watch meteors burning up over Europe via the YouTube feed below: If you're busy Monday night and you just can't be bothered to go looking for little bits of space dust burning up over your head, the Perseids can be time-shifted like anything else today.
So if you miss the show this week, or you just can't be bothered to go outside Monday, there's no reason for FOMO.
